how does the rotation diet work?

when i do this diet, do i just rotate the foods i'm having problems with (dairy, wheat, corn, potatoes) or do i rotate every single food i eat every 4 days?

There is kind of 2 sides to that. Yes, certainly rotate the foods that bother you, but be careful that you don't always eat the same foods together - that seems to cause trouble too, according to my doctor. Also watch what you do eat together - for example, apples and eggs should never be eaten together, they aggrivate each other. It is a good idea to not eat the foods that aren't bothering you every day, because they can start. I've over done it with carrots I think and that was one of the few foods I didn't test allergic to, but now they seem to bother me. So, the best bet, is to at least not eat food that doesn't bother you every day, tho you can probably not be so rigorious about rotating them and you probably can eat them 2 days in a row so long as you aren't doing it daily. Also to switch up meal plans so that you don't end up with potatos with the same meat every time you eat potatos and things of that nature. It can be hard, and you will find that you do back slide - I know I do, but I am careful about the things that really bother me.

thanks so much for the tips. that should help once i get started on the plan next week.

i can tell you didn't even read my discussion or you would clearly see that i was NOT looking for a diet to lose weight. i'm looking for something to help my allergies.
