Hypoallergenic Diet: For Dogs and Humans
The Hypoallergenic diet has rather curious beginnings. It was a special diet originally conceived for the canine population. Check out http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&A=652&S=1&SourceID=42.
Thus writes Wendy C. Brooks, Educational Director of VeterinaryPartner.com: “the test diet must be of a food source that the patient could not possibly be allergic to. The traditional method is the use of a novel protein and carbohydrate source; that is, something the pet has never eaten before. In the past, lamb has been the protein source of choice as American pet food companies had traditionally failed to produce lamb-based pet foods. Unfortunately, recent production of lamb and rice-based foods have removed lamb from the acceptable hypoallergenic diet list.”
Adopted to humans, this is how the Hypoallergenic diet looks like:

This simple diet outline can greatly increase the comfort of anyone trying to isolate themselves from common food allergies.
Basic safe diet
Begin by observing the following basic diet for 5-7 days:
Beets*, lamb*, apricots*, black tea, most leafy greens, prunes*, rice, cranberries*, yams*, peaches, pears*, and olive oil.
* Cook these foods to decrease their antigenicity .
Avoid these common allergens:
Rice vinegar, dairy, nuts, cherries, wheat, tomatoes, black olives, eggs, soy, potato, spinach*, corn, seafood, salt, citrus, peanuts, beet sugar, juices of listed fruits, and methyl xanthenes.
A return of symptoms could include:
Stomachache, heartburn, after at least 1/2 hour; gas, bloating, and diarrhea after at least 3-4 hours; headache, dizziness after at least 1 hour; skin rash, especially of the eyes, after 6-12 hours; runny nose, asthma after at least 1 hour; weight gain from water retention after 12-15 hours; confusion and mental changes after 12-14 hours; joint and back pain, fatigue after a meal of pork, and triggered arthritic pain after 5 days; migraine headaches after 2-7 days; insomnia, vision changes, sweating, tremor, numbness, increased heart rate, restlessness.
Directions:
Eat the recommended diet above for 5 to 7 days. Keep a diet diary and record any symptoms as you go.
Then introduce Food #1 for 5 or 6 meals, and eat it at each meal. If there is a reaction to the food, do not eat that food again until the reaction stops.
When the reaction to the first food has subsided, reintroduce Food #2 in the same way.

In summary, the hypoallergenic diet is a type of dieting that has been transplanted from canines to humans. As such, it by no means adopts formulations originally intended for dogs to the human population. It’s just the premise that stays the same, and that is, that there are certain foods that can cause allergies. By adopting the hypoallergenic diet, certain persons allergic to certain substances can continue to live a comfortable life eating what they like to eat!
