Food Reintroduction on Day 22
To begin the “Re-Introduction Phase” on Day 22, start by consuming one “new food” on day 1 of your trial. Begin with the food you previously ate most frequently and really miss. In most cases, the best place to start is with one of the “Big 5” offenders such as: Wheat, Dairy,Corn, Soy and Egg. Eggs are an especially good place to start as they are least likely to react and are a good source of nutrition and satisfaction. Eat the trial food 2-3 times during that day and then do not eat it again for at least 48 hours, ideally 72 hours or 3 days. You should now be back on your “Baseline Diet”. If you have a reaction to the food during the next 48 hours, record it in your journal along with the reaction you experienced and do not eat it again for over a week. If you are uncertain whether you had a reaction, re-test that food after the 72 hours. (Key Point: DO NOT Introduce another suspect food back into your diet until you feel good and clear again. This could take up to three days, so be patient!)
Introduce a new/suspect food every 48 hours (2 days) and chart your progress or reactions accordingly. If you have a reaction or symptom occur, record it on your chart, along with the day and time. Contact the office as soon as you can and explain your symptoms to the Doc along with how many hours/days it took to react after eating that new food. By considering the timing of the introduction of the new food, Dr. Jeremy will likely be able to tell you which of the new foods you ate is suspicious. Working closely with Dr. Jeremy in performing this Reintroduction trial can increase results and help you to gain valuable insight into what fuel is optimal for your specific body. Hang in there with this important part of the program – the results can change your life!
