mvua Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'm doing a Whole30 with a major goal being to see if there's a food-issue underlying the chronic inflamation of my nose and eyes leading to terrible, regular hayfever symptoms when I have no actual allergies. So far, the elimination has really improved my symptoms, so I want to be really careful with reintroduction. Because of some previous eliminations, I think that my issues are caused by non-gluten grains. I'm wondering if it makes sense to reintroduce non-gluten grains in a gradual manner, rather than all at once on day 7. Does anyone have ideas or experience with this? Would all non-gluten grains be likely to produce the same reaction, and if I have a reaction on day 7, I just know they're all out, or should I try to spread them out so first rice, then oats, quinoa, etc... one reintroduction attempt at a time? If you've done this, what order did you reintroduce non-gluten grains in? Thanks for any insights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 First off the schedule in the book is just a suggestion. You don't need to reintroduce things in that order. You also only need to reintroduce things you think you might want to eat again. That said I decided I wanted to reintroduce white rice and corn separately at the end of my W30 and it sounds like this might be a good plan for you. Taking your time doing careful reintroductions is well worth it. If you look at the beginning of my post-W30 log I posted my retinroduction plan and results if that helps.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 14, 2014 Moderators Share Posted January 14, 2014 All non-gluten grains are NOT likely to effect you the same. You might be okay with rice and not with corn, etc. So, you would probably benefit from introducing one non-gluten grain at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvua Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thank you for your response and pointing me to your log! I'd like to continue eating a more paleo diet in the long term, but would also really like a better understanding of what my symptoms are coming from, so I'd like to reintroduce everything for the short term.
