Foods to avoid
In implementing the diet, it is crucial to understand exactly which foods to exclude. Even small amounts of gluten or casein can perpetuate negative health effects. Care must be taken to read all labels. If label reads “May contain traces of…dairy/gluten”- product is ok to use. If dairy or gluten is part of the ingredient list- avoid the food.
