Has anyone tried a rotation diet? Have you found it useful?

Faith,

I used the rotation diet for an oat challenge that I did a couple of years ago. Basically, I ate certified wheat-free oat cereal for breakfast, on Saturdays and Tuesdays, (alternating 3-day and 4-day rotation). This pattern did delay the onset of symptoms, but it eventually caught up with me. I explained my reasoning behind the rotation pattern in the third link in the series noted in this topic:

Hi Faith,

Not sure if you can call what I do an official rotation diet but I used to cook meals for the week and found myself eating the same thing numerous nights and days in a row. Last September I decided that every night I scratch cook - always did scratch cook - a different meal and I honestly have to say that I have improved immensely since September. I also do not take in the same vegetables 2 nights in a row and avoid a good number of greens since they set me off.

I would give it a whirl if I were you and hopefully you might have the same response as I did.

Love, Maggie

It's helpful to hear your experience, Maggie. I think I will give it a try when I can eat more again.

Tex, your oats trial was fascinating. I was able to eat one serving, but two would give me D. I never ate them much, but now if I try oats give me pain.
