£9Explore the guidebookCould an elimination diet
help you feel better?
Make sense of possible food triggers, understand your symptoms and feel more confident about what to eat. Discover how a carefully planned elimination diet can help investigate whether particular foods are involved, with guidance from your GP or dietitian.
Explore practical food diaries, learn how reintroduction works and avoid cutting out more foods than you need to.
Clear explanations. Practical food diaries. A more informed next step.
Understand the process. Before you change your plate.
An elimination diet temporarily removes a suspected food, then reviews what happens when it is reintroduced. It needs a clear question and a plan.
Allergy, intolerance, coeliac disease and IBS are different. The right starting point depends on your symptoms and medical history.
Our guides explain the questions to take to your GP or dietitian, so you can make informed decisions together.

Your questions,
answered clearly.
Start with the essentials. Follow the linked guides for more detail and sources.
Should everyone try an elimination diet?
No. Persistent symptoms deserve assessment. An exclusion is only useful when it fits a clear clinical question and has an appropriate plan.
Are food intolerance and food allergy the same?
No. They have different mechanisms and risks. Suspected allergy, especially after breathing problems or swelling, needs medical advice.
Should I stop gluten before coeliac testing?
Do not start a gluten-free diet before assessment without professional advice. Gluten intake affects the accuracy of coeliac tests.
Are IgG home food panels a diagnosis?
Commercial IgG panels are not a reliable way to diagnose food allergy or intolerance. Discuss symptoms with a GP or registered dietitian instead.
Is low FODMAP a diet for life?
It is not intended as indefinite blanket avoidance. If appropriate for IBS, it should be guided by a professional and include a plan for reintroduction and personalisation.
Are the guidebook and course ready?
No. The £9 guidebook and £27 online video course are planned, not created, and unavailable to buy.
