Legumes vs soy and goat vs cow milk non-wheat gluten vs wheat

[DuckMama]

Reading about reintroduction and talking with veteran W30ers, I've stumbled upon opinions about breaking down the reintroduction of legumes into soy and non-soy legumes on different days, of gluten grains into wheat and non-wheat gluten (like barley and amaranth), and dairy into cow milk products and goat/buffalo milk products.  The logic, as far as I've gathered, is that so many people have sensitivities to soy, cows milk, and wheat very specifically that one shouldn't rule out the broader category until you're sure it's all legumes, dairy, gluten, etc.   

My plan based on this was to introduce whole group (gluten, legumes, wheat) one day for each large group, then only if I had issues to break down into the finer categories discussed above in additional days.  Do folks have thoughts or experience on this?

Thanks!

I think it depends very much on what you're expecting from your reintro in term of reactions, but I'm guessing you'll be giving yourself double the work in at least one of those food groups.

If you *do* have a reaction you will need to go back to template meals until the symptoms subside before you can investigate further (by effectively giving yourself another inflammatory dose of something your body doesn't tolerate) and therefore it would make more sense to me to test individually from the get-go so as to not delay your reintro more than is necessary (I'm assuming that by going down this route you want to complete the reintro phase fairly quickly) & more importantly, so as to avoid unnecessary inflammatory episodes.

It is worth noting that in non IgE food intolerances, such as may be the result here, continued exposure to the culprit will often result in a more severe reaction.
