You can choose to go all out and eliminate them all, essentially starting from scratch, or you can choose which items to take out of your diet for a period of time and then bring them back in to see how you feel. The benefits of a full on elimination diet is that you get a better chance of identifying reactions since you're controlling all other food factors vs eliminating one at a time. The benefit of eliminating only a couple foods at a time is the bonus of not feeling super deprived and allows your body a simpler transition. Whether you decide to go all out or test the waters you are choosing to listen to your body and begin to truly understand its needs.
