TIMING GUIDELINES FOR PLANNING THE ELIMINATION DIET
Stage 1 – the ‘healthy-eating’ diet – should run for at least a month, but it can be continued for as long as you wish. Some flexibility is allowed during this stage – you can have the occasional meal off, but take all forbidden items in moderation, and avoid alcohol, tea and coffee. Stage 1 will go on longer than a month if you improve substantially on this diet -but in this case you will not be proceeding to Stage 2.
If you are going on to Stage 2, you should maintain the ‘healthy eating’ diet until you are ready to start.
Stage 2 will run for about three weeks if you don’t respond to the exclusion phase. If you do respond, then it will continue for two to three months. There must be no deviation from the diet during Stage 2.
Stage 3 will run for about three weeks if you don’t respond to the exclusion phase. If you do respond, then it will continue for two to three months. There must be no deviation from the diet during Stage 3.
