Reintroduce one new group every 3 days. Eat it at least 2-3 times a day for the 3 days to notice a reaction (unless of course you notice a problem right away, then stop).
Start with dairy, then gluten, then soy, then eggs, then corn, then nightshades, then peanuts and yeasted products.
Keep a log of common symptoms that can occur from 6 to 72 hours later.
The include: fatigue, brain fog, headaches, digestive symptoms (bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation), post-nasal drip, sinus congestion, mood changes, sleep problems, irritability and joint pains (although many other symptoms are possible).
If you have a reaction, note the food, and eliminate if for 12 weeks.
Then try to reintroduce again. If you still have symptoms you may need to avoid this long term.
I would recommend avoiding sugar for at least a month as an experiment, then try a good dark chocolate and savor it!
Caffeine and alcohol are the two substances that we can enjoy from time to time and feel good about it.
