  • I can't believe it's been over a year since I began my elimination diet journey! I wanted to talk about the impacts this experience had on my diet, my immune system, and my daily life. For those of you who are new to my channel, I took an at-home food sensitivity test from EverlyWell and removed the 33 foods that came up as "reactive" from my diet. I know there's debate around the accuracy of these tests, but I felt it was a great baseline for me to explore what foods I should remove from my diet.

    For anyone struggling with aa yeast imbalance (eg. candida overgrowth), I would highly recommend adding in a caprylic acid capsule to at least one meal a day. :)

    Thank you so much for this video. My doctor had me eliminate gluten and dairy a week ago today and I plan to carry on for at least a month before reintroducing them back into my diet. I've just sent off my food sensitivity/allergy test and I'm very hopeful for a better quality of life in the near future. I'll check back in later with an update.

    Hey Laura! Thank you for sharing your experiences! I am just starting out to do my second Elimination Diet. I did one before but hard-core for 3 weeks. And in another moment 2 weeks juice fast. I felt so much lighter and better, more energy, more joy but I didn't pay enough attention when reintroducing foods again. I kinda like reintroduced everything at once and wasn't so mindful about it. haha So, now I decided to really approach it from a different angle. There are many ED like this, some more strict than others in respect of eliminating food so I need to dig in a little deeper what foods to remove during that time.

    After dealing with at least one GI issue per month over the past 10 months, you have inspired me to do some research about elimination diet.

      GMO gluten is the worst byproduct of the agro-industry in the US. No gluten issue from wheat coming from other countries where the GMO process was not used.
      Thanks to the FDA for approving such poison to be developed just to maximize the profits of the industry.

    Gluten in the states is horrible because it’s been modified. You’re not allergic to bread; just americas. When I went to Europe in Austria and ate the bread that was made locally, I had NO issues; then I came back to the states and literally gagged after the first bite of bread here. I was so so upset

      Enriched wheat flour. It’s estimated that about 40-50% of the population has a gene mutation that makes them unable to process enriched wheat products. This is only done in America for some reason so that’s why you can eat bread from other countries and feel fine afterwards

      @@Canadian_Eh_I This is only my system. I have a mitochrondia genetic weakness. I discovered I couldn't digest meat or dairy well. My solutions were going vegan, amino acid L-Carnitine supplement to help cellular digestion of fat, 24 hour fast once or twice a week, and 8 to 9 hours sleep. With all that I can function well, even exercise although I don't run marathons.

      @@Squirrel-zq6oe What has she tried? Has she had a full blood testing panel done? A good nutritionalist/doctor who does hair and nail testing can find if she has a toxin problem or mineral imbalance. Of course, the elimination diet is wise, starting with all the usual suspects. Most people do best on whole food, organic vegan diet, but rarely a person needs to go carnivore or keto at least for a while. Gluten is the first thing go eliminate. Fasting eliminates toxins. People have to build up to doing 3 day fasts. But they they are easy and painless. If a person feels horrible while fasting that might be good, indicating she is detoxing.
