Answer to Question 2

Goal: To define the offending foods of the client's allergies. Goal: To enable the client to lead a healthy, normal life, within the limitations of food allergies. For several weeks, the client does not eat any of the positively reacted foods. Once the allergic symptoms have subsided, the other foods are added back to the diet at a rate of one every 4 to 7 days. The foods most likely to be allergens are added last, until an allergic reaction occurs. This enables the allergen to be specifically pinpointed.
