Re-intro Timeline Questions

[jconn731]

I am about to finish my first Whole 30 next week! I definitely plan to reintroduce the less healthy items one food group at a time, but my question is, do you have to follow the order of the food groups from the Whole30 Timeline, or can you customize it to better suit your needs?

 

Would it be a terrible idea to start introducing gluten as my first food group? The book and blog has Gluten-containing grains as the last item to reintroduce. 

 

I don't want to screw up all the hard work from the past 30 days, so I want to make sure I am doing the reintroduction phase right.

You can do them in any order you wish. I think the order in the book went from least likely to cause problems, to most likely. Keep in mind that the two days between reintroducing different foods is a minimum -- if you have a strong enough reaction that two days later, you still don't feel great, you'd want to add more days of Whole30 eating before introducing the next food, until you feel good again.
