Elimination diets and food intolerance tests are used to detect food intolerance . Since intolerance symptoms can occur within hours or days, and therefore it is very difficult in practice to understand which food you are intolerant to with an elimination diet, food intolerance tests are generally widely used. People with one or more of the health problems listed above will benefit when they eliminate foods to which they have developed intolerance from their diet.
Weight loss in studies on weight control in people with weight problems followed by food sensitivity testing. , body fat mass and body mass index Significant results were found in the reduction, and these individuals had relief from gastrointestinal reflux, headaches, etc., in addition to obesity, with the elimination diet. It has also been shown that problems related to food sensitivity are reduced.
As a result of the food intolerance test, foods to which the body has developed intolerance are eliminated from the diet for 8, 12 or 24 weeks, depending on the severity of intolerance. The important point to be considered when removing foods that cause intolerance from the diet is not to cause macro and micronutrient deficiency.
For example, if a person has developed intolerance to cow, sheep and goat milk, other alternative animal milk such as buffalo milk should be used. If there is intolerance to all animal milk, other protein sources should be considered. In order to avoid a Ca deficiency due to the inability to consume dairy products, the need for Ca should be met by consuming green leafy vegetables, almonds and flaxseeds.
As a result of the intolerance test, you may be intolerant to only one or two foods, or to more than one protein and carbohydrate source at the same time. You may have an intolerance. In this case, it is the dietitian's job to determine the appropriate alternative to the intolerant food and develop appropriate recipes. According to the result of the food intolerance test under the control of the dietitian, an appropriate diet should be followed that includes all nutrients, vitamins and minerals in a balanced manner.
