Adding food back after elimination diets ~~ I was on elimination diets for a long time and needed to be in order to quiet down the chaos in my body. I now know more than when I started and hope that the general method of learning to listen is helpful to others since I know the details will be different for everyone.  Recently I went through a stint of eating gluten and cheese. As I add many different foods I avoided for many years back into my diet, I jokingly call it "retoxification."
