#10 Create your own Allergy Rotation Diet

July 19, 2010

To create a simple to follow allergy rotation diet, set up a four-column spreadsheet. Take the list above, and break it down into four days of diets. Remember, eat each food family only once in a four day period. Use a different food family for each food category each day.

For example, on Day 1, your protein would be from the poultry group. On Day 2, eat from the shellfish group. On Day 3, eat from the meat group, etc.

Make sure to try foods that you normally don’t eat. Remember that the foods that comprise your normal diet are causing your hidden food allergies. Expand your food palate and try some new foods. You may be surprised at how many new flavors and textures that you learn to love.

If you feel better after following this diet for several weeks then slowly and gradually try to introduce new foods. Only add a new food every several days (see the following section on Introducing Foods to Your Diet for more details on this process). Keep a food symptom diary to track your reactions to new foods, and proceed carefully.

You may find that over time you are able to eat certain foods at long intervals. For example, if corn is a problem for you, you may find after the diet and testing that you can get away with eating it once every week or two weeks.

All this testing and tracking may seem like a lot of work, but it is necessary in order to learn about your body and its allergic responses to help you reach your goal towards a gluten free diet. The relief that you feel from eliminating your allergens will be well worth the trouble and help it can help you lose weight too.
