It is usually applied for 2-3 weeks, but the duration varies from person to person. The foods we prohibit during the diet are added to the diet one by one. After adding a single food, the person is followed for 3 days. If the person does not have any complaints, it is waited for 3 more days. Then, after a total of 6 days, we include a new food in the diet and this protocol continues in this way. If intolerance to a food occurs again, that food should be removed from the diet for another 3 weeks.
