Types of Elimination Diet
Such dietary approaches are applied to eliminate illness or disease symptoms.
Examples of elimination diet include the following options.
- Individualized elimination diet: It is a personalized nutrition program with the data of the food sensitivity test taken from the blood sample.
- Paleolithic Diet (Paleo diet): It is aimed to choose a menu in which natural and whole foods are selected that are compatible with our ancient diet.
- Heavy Metal Elimination Diets: It is a nutritional practice that facilitates the excretion of heavy metals and takes precautions for entry routes.
- Microbiota Modeling Elimination Diet: It is nutritional planning aimed at strengthening the intestinal-brain axis and bioflavonoids in line with the improvement of the gut microbiome.
- Low FODMAP diet (fermentable oligo-di-monosaccharides and polyols): It is the elimination of all highly fermentable carbohydrate categories and their reintroduction into the diet as one FODMAP category and specific carbohydrate group at a time.
- Histamine Elimination diet: It is a diet regulation that includes food choices and supplements that reduce the amount of histamine and its derivatives that have vasoconstrictor effects that cause allergic complaints.
- Ketogenic diet: It is a diet that contains high quality, essential oils in abundance and carbohydrate consumption is reduced.
Although there are consistent clinical studies demonstrating the benefits of elimination diets, there are many gaps that need to be clarified in terms of data from high-level studies examining elimination diets and the indications and safety of these diets, and defining many limits in this area.
