aglaranna83 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 For reintroduction, is 3 days a necessary gap between trying different things? Would having one day off instead of two between trying new things not be enough to tell if something is ok or not? Usually when I have issues with a food I can tell within the next few hours.

Administrators ladyshanny Posted March 16, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 16, 2015 Doing a shorter period between will probably tell you about digestive or skin issues but may not give you the full picture of emotional, mental, sleep, energy etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted March 16, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2015 Many people have very subtle responses to foods and some of them are delayed. If you rush the reintro process, you will miss some information that might prove to be important to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 My youngest son had multiple food intolerances as a baby/toddler & we spent many, many hours with dieticians & nutritionists. The rule of thumb we were given when introducing a new food was one every two weeks. If he reacted we eliminated again & waited a further two weeks before trying anything else new. For him even a condiment like pepper was classed as a new food so you can imagaine how frustrating it was.... I think you can & *should* wait out the three days - the thinking being that it can take some time for any kind of a reaction to build up in your system.Good luck with the reintro!
