Trying an Elimination Diet: My Experience

I'm trying the carnivore diet at the moment. I'm not far into it yet, just a few weeks, but I've heard from friends with ME/CFS (my condition) that it helped them have fewer crashes in energy and less brain fog. Hoping for the same results 🤞

my mom and i tried an elimination diet for our hashimotos and got about a week in before giving up. she said she was feeling better from it, but i was irritable and hungry because i am a picky eater (mostly from my autism) and so i wasn't eating enough with my options limited and i didn't feel any difference otherwise.

Does a plant-based diet count? 😅

i had to cut out most food because i developed IC/PBS, so any salt, caffeine, or acidic food will bring me a lot of pain from an overactive bladder. its especially tough being so sensitive to salt / sodium, its literally in EVERYTHING. the pain would be so bad, just a small bag of salted chips made me almost black out from intensity. it took months to figure out what my triggers were, but once i started cutting those foods out i have a much better time and mostly just dull flares now 👍

It worked for me until I got married and I had to put up with a bunch of baloney and I am now getting ready to go back to being single and I really don’t want to , but I’m not sure if marriage was a good idea for me right now.

Tried to cut out sugar to help with anxiety

Hi so sorry I just saw this. I don't get notifications. Histamine is a compound released by mast cells in response to an allergen. You can think of it as the bouncer at the door of a club, there to get rid of the bad guys. In response, you have sneezing, itching, common allergy symptoms. Histamine can also cause less commonly known symptoms, like shortness of breath, headaches, and fatigue. It's easier to think of high histamine foods because the list is shorter. A low histamine diet is miserable, so ppl can try cutting the top foods and see if that makes a difference in symptoms. Some high histamine foods are cheese, canned food, leftovers, chocolate, tomatoes.

I cut out gluten bc I'm convinced I have a sensitivity & that's what was causing the symptoms of my tight junctions. It really did help! It just wasn't sustainable for me personally & the lifestyle I want to have going forward, so I switched to taking a digestive enzyme & probiotics daily. That way I'm able to eat essentially whatever I want w/o having to worry about an attack

I cut out a few of the major things and found massive improvement, however I could only make this work by substituting. I stopped drinking coffee and went full on with herbal teas for example 😇

Cutting milk and pork entirely helped me a lot with bloating I am eating tonnes of veg every day and excersising more!

I have been tweaking my diet for the past 5 years. Gluten was the 1st to go. I have IBS-D and I already knew that wheat was a problem. I consulted with a functional medicine Dr all of last year and was tested to find all my food sensitivities. I did the elimination diet and started adding things back one at a time. My biggest discovery was that dairy sets off my RA & OA big time! I also found out that my mouth sores were caused by yeast overgrowth so I have to really watch my sugar intake. I rarely eat out and cook all my own food from whole foods. I eat meat, fish, only cooked vegetables, and berries. No potatoes. I use coconut milk and olive oil. My IBS is literally cured and I eat very healthy. We raise our own beef & pork and eggs. I just haven't been able to lose any weight!

I have done the elimination diet in the U.S. through my functional doctor. It has helped. There are still several foods I don't eat. Or when I do, it's minimal and rarely. I do feel a difference; less bloat, less stomach issues. Am I a little better? yes

Sort of I removed corn, dairy, wheat, sugar, and something else I apologize I don't remeber what it was it was for inflammation and found out there was a huge difference in my children's behaviors when.they were off the gluten and sugar. We did end up doing a sensitivity test through our Dr and it tested a ton of foods . It may be a better way to begin .

Yes I have. I went vegan before my symptoms really started. But since then, I have tried eliminating different things and have tried to find what triggers certain symptoms

It didn’t do anything

I haven’t noticed any specific diet help my spina bifida in anyway. I know everyone is different but I’d say be careful with the keto diet. I got so sick off of that after three weeks.

I want to cut things out and eliminate stuff but I don't know where to start 🥲

I am a gluten free vegetarian. It has helped with somethings but not others. What I have discovered is limiting preservatives, additives & sugar. Am I perfect at it? Well . . . I do try & mostly succeed. 😁

I tried the low FODMAP diet and from there when I reintroduced certain foods I could see what effected me in negative ways. So coffee, a lot of gluten, onions, lactose (I already knew) etc I cut from my diet and have been way better health wise

My doc took gluten, grains, and dairy out of my diet. Now I only eat meat and veggies. Feeling a bit better, but I miss the carbs.

Yes, I have IC so there are a lot of foods I can’t eat. How did I you post a picture? TIA

I did one last year for 3 months, and the only thing it helped with was my heartburn, and I lost about 15 lbs. The reintroduction fase did not help as I had almost zero reactions to a normal portion once a day. It is only when I have multiple servings within a small amount of time.

Good morning! I wanted to share my thoughts about dieting. Unfortunately we all have been lied to about on how to live a healthy life style. The truth is that the food we eat is poison, 90% of hours he foods in the súper markets is all process and is bad for our body’s, this is why we all experienced health problems. If you really want to make a change you have to to your life you have to take action. Watch the video and educate your self more about fasting and you guys would like to know my experience please don’t hesitate to message me. I hope this helps https://youtu.be/Xe6GrYs9tkY
