For my mom and dad, Dr. and Mrs. Moon,
who nourished me and taught me how food can heal. For my siblings, Ahrie, Gurie, Suerie,
and Kahmyong, one of whom lives with a peanut allergy, and all of whom lived with me and
my food intolerance. Finally, for my husband Fred, one of the best eaters I know
.

Contents

The major nutrition problems of our day can be solved with basic shifts in eating habits. Implementing these simple changes can be complex, but the guidance is simple: more vegetables, more fruit, more whole grains, a handful of nuts a day, seafood twice a week, lean proteins, and dont go crazy with booze or butter. But this is advice for the luckier ones, who have no more to deal with than, say, navigating the modern food system, which seems tailor-made to keep us overweight.

Imagine that in addition to the basic challenge of eating healthfully in the Western world, you had a particularly adversarial relationship with food. What if foodwhich is supposed to nurture your physical well-being, cement your cultural and social bonds, provide pleasure, and so much moreactually caused you distress and discomfort? What if it were the root of, or at least a contributing factor to, your fatigue, hives, rashes, stomachaches, migraine headaches, asthma, coughs, bloating, gas, or diarrhea? And what if you werent sure which foods were triggering your symptoms?

Although the percentage of people with food allergies (when the bodys immune system has an inappropriate reaction to a food) or food intolerances (most often a negative digestive reaction to a food) is dwarfed by the percentage of those without them, the number of human beings suffering from food sensitivities (encompassing both food allergies and food intolerances) is significant. In the United States, an estimated 5 percent of the population has food allergies (about 15 million), and 16 percent of Americans (nearly 60 million) self-report food intolerances (though blind tests suggest its closer to 1 to 2 percent). Because the relationship between foods and symptoms is incompletely understood and varies a great deal according to the individual, diagnosis can difficult. In conjunction with a thorough medical history, the gold standard for diagnosis is the subject of this book: the elimination diet.

If possible, I highly recommend that you work with a credible and supportive health care team to deal with your food sensitivities. They can provide the face-to-face guidance and individualized support you may need. Many registered dietitians have expertise in this area. But if for whatever reason you do not do this, I hope this book will help guide you through at-home versions of the elimination diet that can be done safely with minimal risk to the nutritional adequacy of your diet, and that can potentially have profound benefits for your quality of life.

My graduate training in nutrition on my way to becoming a registered dietitian means that I approach the topic of elimination diets with academic rigor and professional responsibility. I am also empathetic and want to help. Ive lived with a food intolerance for most of my life Although my lactose intolerance is now very manageable, I know how disruptive a food intolerance can be.

In addition, my graduate program at Columbia University demanded that we put concepts into practice. We tasted every liquid nutritional supplement we might ever have to prescribe in a hospital setting (not a five-star dining experience). We spent time on just about every basic therapeutic diet, popular diet, and even a food stamp dietall to get a taste of what our patients were going through. We juggled classes, work, family, and diets that were restrictive in one way or another. This means that the tips and tools that Ive created are practical, rooted in reality, and helpful.

The darker side of popularizing any specialized diet that cuts out foods is that it could promote disordered eating. It is in no way my intention or desire to do this. Quite the opposite. I come at this with a love of food and want to help you restore your diet to something you enjoy and that supports your vitality and good health.

Food is not just fuel. It is also delicious, it is fun, it can call forth creativity in its preparation, it represents caring, and it is healing. Thank goodness we are omnivores! We have many choices when it comes to nourishing the body. Lets discover the foods that disagree with you, put them aside, and discover a world of flavors that you can safely enjoy.

Wishing you good health,

Maggie Moon, MS, RD

The elimination diet is about helping you feel better by identifying what foods are causing your symptoms. Its a way back to enjoying food and getting the nourishment you need and deserve to support a healthful lifestyle. The elimination diet is gaining in popularity, though it has been known to the dietetics and medical communities for a long time as a way to figure out what food ails you. There is a lot of information out there, often conflicting or incomplete, on how you should go about this diet. This book is a guide to conducting an elimination diet that can be done safely at home, with minimal risk of depriving you of important nutrients in the long term.
