Elimination Protocols

Summary

An elimination diet is a *time-limited diagnostic experiment*, not a way of eating — its entire value is in the reintroduction phase that follows, and the most common failure mode is not running it wrong but never finishing it: people get relief, get scared, and stay restricted, trading a tractable gut symptom for a shrinking diet, a thinner microbiome, and a slide toward disordered eating. ---

HIGH on the core principle (elimination is a diagnostic *probe*, not a destination; the reintroduction phase is where the value lives); HIGH on the over-restriction harmLast updated June 2026
