Elimination diets danger

[tllwd]

Elimination diets are everywhere—from parents managing eczema to influencers cutting out gluten and dairy in pursuit of “clean eating.”

But research shows that removing foods from your diet can subtly change how your immune system reacts when you eat them again. In some people, especially those with conditions like eczema or past food allergies, that loss of tolerance can spark dangerous reactions—even life-threatening anaphylaxis—when the food returns.

Both my daughters and I are gluten and dairy intolerant.... but occasionally we push the envelope and usually suffer the consequences unfortunately.
All 3 of us have asthma, slight eczema and intolerance to assorted foods, the kinds that taste the best of course.
