What is the definition or description of: diet elimination?

Get rid of foods: You stop eating certain foods in your diet to see if they are the cause of your symptoms. For example, without doing blood testing, if you get a rash or eczyma and you think it is due to milk. You stop milk products and see if the rash improves.

An elmination diet brings a patient down to a very basic set of foods that are known to have low issues with allergies. If the symptoms resolve then blocks of similar foods are added back until symptoms recur. Now we know where to look.
