A member asked:
Has anyone tried an elemental diet for food allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Its commonly used for patients with eosinophiilic esophagitis (ee) and can be very effective. If symptoms fail to resolve in 2-3 weeks that's an excellent indication that they are not due to food allergy. If they do resolve foods can be reintroduced one at a time every few days to see if they are tolerated or trigger allergic symptoms.
