For patients struggling with chronic symptoms, the most frustrating realization is that their body is reacting constantly, making it impossible to identify the culprit. If you've been eating a variety of inflammatory triggers daily, your immune system is operating in a state of continuous "storm," masking subtle sensitivities.
Our diagnostic approach relies on the Clean Slate Principle, which involves a 14-day elimination protocol. The goal is twofold:
Reduce Inflammation: By temporarily removing the most common inflammatory triggers (gluten, dairy, eggs, sugar, etc.), we allow the gut lining to heal and the immune system to quiet down. Many patients report feeling significantly better—more energy, less bloating—within this short period.
Establish a Baseline: Once the body is calm and quiet, it's easier to detect subsequent reactions. Think of it like tuning a noisy radio: once the static is gone, the signal becomes clear.
After the initial 14-day "Reset," we begin the Strategic Reintroduction Method, testing foods one-by-one over three days. This systematic approach allows your body's response to be crystal clear, giving you the definitive, personalized data you need to build a healthy, sustainable diet.
