While most food intolerance effects usually occur within 10 minutes to 12 hours after ingestion, certain effects may be delayed by as much as 48 to 72 hours.
You’ll want to eat a relatively large amount of each test food. For instance, on the day to test dairy, add a large glass of cow’s milk at breakfast. If after one serving, your original symptoms return or if you develop a occasional bloating or fatigue, do not eat any more and place it on your “Intolerant” list.
If no symptoms occur, eat the food again at lunch and supper and watch for occasional symptoms. If the food is well tolerated on the day you ate the test food, wait another 2-4 days until adding it to your “permitted” foods list.
Begin testing on a day you are feeling well (without colds, unusual headaches, flu-like symptoms, etc.). Review the list of symptoms to watch for and keep a journal of how you feel.
Reintroduction of foods: You can start reintroduction after completing a period of food elimination, commonly lasting 3-4 weeks.
If severe symptoms occur, stop the challenge. Do not start the next challenge until you have had one full day free of symptoms. Do not re-introduce the offending food for at least 90 days. Lastly, record your symptoms: When you challenge, keep a record of both your physical and behavioral symptoms.
