To follow this diet you will have to shop for a huge selection of organic fruit, game, veg and store cupboard items, which will cost a fair bit. The problemis to follow it there is a lot of cooking and to get the full effect you need to to have a very varied diet; which means buying and cooking a lot of things and also it is by necessity very bland whole food. I managed to follow it for 4 days but felt so ill and stressed out about it that I gave up. You need to follow an initial diet for 4 weeks to get the bad stuff out of your system then slowly try things over the next few things to see how you react. I guess it might have been working but as I was the only one in my family following it, it was very hard. The only upside was I lost 5 lbs in weight in as many days.
If you like cooking from scratch and have a lot of time to prepare everything and someone to do it with then it will probably be very beneficial even if you don't have any allergies but it's not for me at the moment.

Discovering Your Allergies or Trying New Foods
8 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
"Quite often when you feel stressed, you should think about your diet rather than look for the things in your life that cause you stress." ~ pg. 12
You may already have a pretty good idea of what you are allergic to and this book will help to pinpoint additional allergies if you are still having specific symptoms. By eliminating most palm oils, peanuts and nuts from your diet, you may solve many problems. Soy butter and soy nuts are just as delicious.
The list of symptoms that indicate a food intolerance is a long one and you are sure to find a symptom here that could include frequent headaches, fatigue or insomnia. A short discussion about environmental causes for allergies is discussed - chemicals used in household cleaning can be significant in skin allergies. Switching to some of the Seventh Generation products can help or try Mrs. Meyers cleaning products.
Helpful suggestions include:
Soaking rice in mineral water to enliven the grains
Spouting your own beans, grains and seeds for salads
Purchasing oil in glass bottles
Using kelp as a substitute for salt
The authors introduce foods like umeboshi plums, kamut, quinoa and tamari. You may recognize many of the healthy foods presented and then enjoy using them in the recipes.
Amaranth and Apple Pancakes - uses sheep's milk and amaranth flour
Miso Soup - seaweed and miso soy bean paste
Roast Chicken with Plum Stuffing
Seafood Paella
Aduki bean burgers
Millet Croquettes
Redcurrant Sauce
Barley Scone Bread
Date and Coconut Muesli Bars
Cherry and Coconut Slices
Chocolate Hazelnut Biscuits
Fig and Lime Sorbet
Lemon and Elderberry Cordial
Mushroom and Tahini Spread
From my perspective, the recipes in this book would add to my diet and help me include more foods than eliminate foods. So, this book can be seen from two different perspectives. I don't see any deprivation in sight...this looks like a celebration of new foods and eclectic recipes to try as soon as you can make a trip to the health food section of your local store.
"The majority of people with allergies or food intolerances react to less than five items, of which the most common are tap water, dairy products, wheat, and other cereals that contain substances similar to gluten..." ~pg. 34

probably the best of it's kind
8 April 2008
Format:Paperback
While I didn't follow the diet, this is the only book I've found that really has some good combined allergy recipes. There are still a few foods that can cause problems in some of their recipes (eg.tomato, barley) but it still seems like the best I've seen.
Same book ,different title.
4 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback
This book is EXACTLY the same as "The Elimination Diet Cookbook" by Carter and Edwards. Don't buy them both! The diet is REALLY bizarre. I would recommend one of the other elimination diet books. This one doesn't really make any sense.
