我们都知道吃正确的事情可以帮助燃料our bodies—ensuring we’re working at our most optimal levels—but for some who are experiencing tummy issues, rashes or otherwise are feeling down in the dumps, eliminating some things from their plates may help.
“An elimination diet is one way to determine if foods are causing symptoms that you feel may be related to your food consumption,” saidWilliam Culver，MD，成人和儿科过敏医生和免疫医生主頁(欢迎您)横幅健康诊所in Loveland, CO. “The symptoms can be related to afood allergy，非过敏性条件，如乳糜泻或乳糖不耐症，或者专门与您相关。“
要学习灭绝饮食的INS和出来，这里有五件事您应该知道和入门提示。
1.消除饮食不是减肥......但有益处
An elimination diet is a great way to identify foods you’re allergic or sensitive to, but it’s not a “quick fix” or a long-term solution for weight loss. “While this is a restricted diet during the process, it’s not the end point,” Dr. Culver said.
消除饮食几乎是姓名的确表明：它们在三周到几个月的任何地方排除某些食物。通过从您的饮食中取出某些食物或食物组以进行规定的时间，然后一次重新介绍它们，可以在某些食物和不良症状之间揭示可能的连接，例如荨麻疹，腹泻或疲劳。
“The benefit of an elimination diet is to determine if foods reliably and consistently do or don’t trigger suspected symptoms,” Dr. Culver said. “Food should be in one of three lists: tolerated foods, foods creating problems and foods uncertain of creating problems. The goal is to determine which list various foods will appear on.”
Through this diet, you can identify a broad list of foods that your body thrives on. As a result, you may find you feel less bloated or foggy-headed, experience less joint pain and may even have more energy.
2. There are different types of elimination diets
在消除饮食之后，除了您删除的某些食物之外，您的饮食的所有方面都很灵活。一些消除饮食靶向常见过敏原的特异性食物，例如牛奶，鸡蛋，玉米，大豆，麸质那花生and seafood. While others may also include alcohol, artificial colorings and flavorings,processed sugars加工肉类。
如果您非常确定您已经知道哪些食物或食物会导致您的问题，您只能消除那些食物或食品类别。
食物过敏和不耐受性或敏感性之间存在差异

On the other hand, food intolerances (or sensitivities) occur when the body reacts poorly to specific foods or ingredients. A food intolerance means a specific food irritates your digestive system or triggers undesirable symptoms. Those symptoms can include nausea, vomiting chronic or recurrent diarrhea, bloating, gas, cramps, irritability and headaches.
4.食物反应可以消失或改变
“Foods that create nonallergic type symptoms may change over time or may be dependent upon volume, frequency of consumption or other factors,” Dr. Culver said. “Bottom line, foods that create symptoms should be avoided; foods that don’t cause symptoms can be consumed; and slow introduction of new foods to establish a cause-and-effect relationship is encouraged.”
在某些时候，您可以考虑重新引入少量您对过去敏感的食物，以了解您可能能够容忍的东西。
5. Seek out a trained expert
An elimination diet can be an effective (and even life-changing) method to discover the root cause of your health problems, but it’s a big commitment that may be hard for some. It can often be done on your own, but some experts suggest consulting with adoctoror注册营养师在某些情况下在过敏和消除饮食中经历过。
一些症状，如持续的腹泻，严重过敏反应或偏头痛那can be a sign of something more serious or unrelated to your diet. Your doctor can run all appropriate tests to get to the bottom of what’s going on. And a dietitian can help you find substitutes for eliminating certain foods to ensure you’re getting all the nutrition your body needs. These specialists can also help you navigate the challenges, temptations and pitfalls that can come with the diet.
