THE ELIMINATION DIET: POSSIBLE OUTCOMES OF THE EXCLUSION PHASE

Feeling much worse

This often happens during the first few days of die exclusion phase, and it is generally considered a good sign. These ‘withdrawal symptoms’ are seen in many food-sensitive patients and seem to be caused by suddenly cutting out the offending food. They should pass by the end of the first week.

If you continue to feel worse after about eight days, then it may be that one of the rare or unusual foods you have included in your diet is affecting you. If you are eating buckwheat, cut this out for a few days – it can cause both food allergy and false-food allergy in susceptible people. If this produces no improvement, then cut out all other rare foods at once, and see how you are. Should you continue to have symptoms, go back to the ‘healthy eating’ diet and reconsider other possibilities.

Feeling a little worse

This may be a mild version of the withdrawal symptoms, but if it persists after seven days, then it is something else. One possibility is that you were somewhat undernourished to start with and the diet has made things worse. If you think this is likely, go back to the healthy eating’ diet and take a nutritional supplement . Stay on this regime for a couple of months to try to recover your general health. Then try the Stage 3 diet again.
