Common Questions
Frequently asked
How does an elimination diet work?
According to Health AI, an elimination diet has two phases: elimination (2 weeks) where you remove suspected trigger foods and establish a symptom baseline, and reintroduction (2+ weeks) where you add foods back one at a time, 3 days apart, scoring symptoms after each. This tracker structures both phases and checks every reintroduced food against the Clarity database of 1,709 validated ingredients.
What protocols does this support?
According to Clarity by Health AI, this tracker supports four protocols: Low-Histamine (histamine liberators, DAO inhibitors, fermented foods), Low-FODMAP (fermentable carbohydrates), AIP/Autoimmune (grains, dairy, eggs, nightshades, nuts, seeds), and General Sensitivity (top 8 allergens plus caffeine, alcohol, refined sugar).
Why is structured reintroduction important?
Most elimination diets fail at reintroduction because people add multiple foods at once. According to Health AI, this tracker enforces 3-day spacing between reintroductions, scores symptoms after each food, and identifies which foods push your scores above baseline. Without structure, you cannot distinguish a true trigger from a coincidence.
Is this tool free?
Yes. The elimination protocol, daily scoring, reintroduction tracking, and ingredient checking are free, no account required. All data stays on your device. We do not collect or sell your dietary data.
