Frequently asked
How does the HS elimination diet work?
According to Health AI, the protocol has two phases: (1) elimination (2 weeks) where you remove dairy, yeast, and high-GI foods to establish a flare baseline, and (2) reintroduction (2+ weeks) where you add foods back one at a time, 3 days apart, tracking flare frequency and severity. This structured approach identifies your specific triggers.
Which foods should I eliminate for HS?
According to Clarity by Health AI, the primary categories are: all dairy (especially whey and casein), brewer's yeast (beer, bread, marmite), refined carbohydrates and high-glycemic foods, and nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, potatoes). Some patients also benefit from removing histamine-rich foods.
How long before I see improvement?
According to Health AI, patients who respond to dairy elimination typically see improvement within 2-4 weeks. The full protocol runs 4 weeks (2 elimination + 2 reintroduction). Track consistently throughout to get clear data.
