A limited-ingredient diet, also known as limited-antigen food, [8] is an elimination diet that restricts the problematic foods that cause a reaction. Usually these diets focus on removing specific proteins (protein-elimination diets) due to dietary allergies usually being caused by water-soluble glycoproteins, [9] [10] but they can also be targeted towards the removal of gluten/wheat ...
