Caveman Diet?

http://www.ibsgroup.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/007116.html Check out this posting....Although it doesn't only refer to the caveman diet.I tried it for 6 weeks and then added foods back in over the course of about 4 months..its really hard to follow and was very helpful, but I lost too much weight. It helped me determine that I was overeating certain things like wheat and corn that enhanced my IBS.I'm hoping MNL will answer your questions, but I think it takes considerably longer than 48 hours on the caveman diet (AKA the elimination diet I think) to determine any cause and effects. I think its something like 4 to 6 weeks on the diet..it took me three weeks to come out of my addiction to sugar! Although I appear to have some of it back I'm not nearly as bad....most of you probably don't beleive me given my recent postings about chocolate eggs By the way I also ate rice and rice products on the elimination diet..Also I think you need to understand that there is a big difference between food allergies and food sensitivities...I'm sure Mike (MNL) will be here soon to give us the scientific explanation..but basically one is a severe reaction like hives or swelling and the other occurs over a longer period of time due to a build up...there may be a better way of explaining this? If you do a search on food allergies you are sure to come up with one of MikeNoLomotil's long and informative postings about this.[This message has been edited by jane93 (edited 03-22-2001).]

Drooliing all over the glass on a vending machine..hmm It took me three weeks to break this habit not 72 hours!
