Study Notes
Managing Food Intolerances: A Detailed Overview
- Different ways to consume food intolerant foods: on their own, in mixed dishes, with other ingredients, raw, steamed, stir-fried, boiled, slow-cooked, or baked
- Investigation of food intolerances to low chemical, high FODMAP foods, with reactions varying from "O.K." to "Terrible gas"
- Evaluation of patient's food intolerances through diagnostic elimination diet, focusing on exclusions of natural salicylates, amines, glutamates, added flavor enhancers, preservatives, food colors, and optionally wheat, milk, soy, and FODMAP foods
- Detailed protocol for elimination diet, requiring at least 2 to 6 weeks duration, along with a symptom diary and monitoring for withdrawal reactions, aiming for 5 consecutive days free of symptoms
- Initial outcomes of strict elimination diet, showing significant improvement (90-95%) in symptoms such as skin issues, gastrointestinal problems, fatigue, and joint aches and pains
- N-of-1 trial challenge protocol to identify specific food/chemical triggers for symptoms
- Repeat challenge results for various food/chemical categories (e.g., salicylate, amines, glutamate, propionate, antioxidants, colors) and associated symptoms (e.g., asthma, rash, headache, nausea)
- Personal diet assessment and adjustments based on challenge responses to determine individual reaction thresholds
- Long-term management of food intolerances through liberalizing the diet, progressively increasing tolerated amounts of intolerant foods
- Detailed overview of living with food intolerances, including adjustments in diet and lifestyle choices
- Assessment of the patient's food intolerances and challenges in identifying specific food/chemical triggers for symptoms
- Finding reaction thresholds and liberalizing the diet by increasing the frequency and amount of tolerated foods
