Hello all.
I am assuming many people on this site have done elimination diets. What things did you all find that bothered you, that you decided to avoid? I'm wondering what the most common ones are.
For me, I'm thinking dairy will be one, for sure. Possibly also gluten. Possibly bananas.
What is interesting, is that long ago I did one of those tests through an alternative-type lab, and the one that came back highest was corn. Anyone else found corn to be a problem, in your elimination diet? I am kind of doubtful of those results (I have heard that testing can be sort of bogus, just showing what you ate that day, and best bet to find out is elimination and tracking symptoms).
So I'm hoping corn will be okay, and hoping soy will be okay (since it's in many things, including protein supplements).
One other question.....my amino acid capsules from Now brand have Whey Protein Isolate in them. My understanding is that the casein is removed from that, but not perfectly, so some still react to it. Then there's the fact that some are not sensitive to casein, but perhaps something else about dairy/cow's milk. My question is, what have you all found? My guess is I'll be able to handle my whey isolate supplements, but not milk or cheese. Is that the general trend among many of us? I am guessing based on how I've noticed I feel, but maybe once I eliminate the whey isolate, I'll feel even better, who knows.
Thanks!
