Researching an Elimination Diet

I have discovered that "detox diet" is the wrong term for what I am interested in. I want an elimination diet. One where I exclude all reactive foods for two weeks, and then one at a time introduce foods with a single reactive chemical and see if I react within 2 days. If there is no reaction, introduce another food. If I do react, back up for 5 days before trying a new one.

Here is the wiki on what I am talking about - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_intolerance

I have done this kind of diet before - It sucks at first, but ultimately it made me feel wonderful.

I am having some real problems finding what I want. Maybe I need to go to the book store, the internet is not providing me with very good answers.

Your aunt (my mother) did one of these when she was finding out what foods she was allergic to. You could probably talk to her to find an approach to take.

Thanks Andrew. I stopped by your parents place tonight and talked with your mom about this for a good while. She handed me a book with a book mark on the section I'm interested it. woo!
