Elimination Diet For Food Intolerances
21 Days Elimination + 38 Days Reintroduction
An elimination diet is a short-term eating plan that omits foods or groups of foods believed to cause an adverse food reaction, often referred to as a “food intolerance.”
By removing certain foods for a period of time and then reintroducing them during a “challenge” period, you can learn which foods are causing symptoms or making them worse. We often think of reactions to food as being a rapid allergic reaction, such as when a person has an anaphylactic reaction to eating peanuts and their throat swells up. However, there are other ways our bodies can react to foods that may not be so immediate, and may or may not be tied to an immune system response.
Food intolerances may be triggered by various natural compounds found in foods (natural sugars or proteins) or common food additives (such as natural and artificial colors, preservatives, antioxidants, and flavor enhancers) that can cause reactions through various mechanisms in the body. Clinical experience has shown that an elimination diet are one of the best tools for identifying food culprits.
Symptoms of Food Intolerance
Symptoms of food intolerance can vary widely. They can include:
- stomach and bowel irritation
- headaches
- hives, itching
- vague feelings of being unwell, such as flu-like aches and pains,
- unusual tiredness, or concentration problems
- exacerbated symptoms in people with specific conditions such as autoimmune disorders, migraines, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) and others.
Symptoms and their severity are unique to the individual. They are influenced by specific compounds in the food, a person’s sensitivity level, and how much of certain foods are eaten. If you eat the same food repeatedly, or often eat different foods with the same compound together, the body may reach a threshold, or a tipping point where symptoms occur.

Here is What People Are Saying about the Program
“During my consultation with Nicole, it was clear; to really get my health under control I needed to determine what foods were exacerbating my symptoms. This program was incredible. The elimination phases was not as difficult as I thought it would be. During the re-introduction phases, things became so clear. I had no idea that nightshades were the issue for me. I am feeling the best I have in years!! Plus, Nicole set me up with a dietary lifestyle that I love and can easily continue. Working with Nicole was an eye-opening experience and it changed my health, and life forever. This program is worth the investment and your time.” Melissa, Toronto, ON
