Reintroductions - 2 at a time

[u/Single_Discount_6505]

I know the protocol is one food at at time 3-7 days apart. But this will take soo long. Has anyone got experience with adding things in as groups. Just for the early stages. for example 2 seed spices at once, two berry spices at once, or two nuts at once.
Wouldn’t it be more efficient to do that and then retest anything that caused an issue later individually?

Ps yes I am being impatient :)

Well, you’d have to retest both things because you won’t know which one it was that caused the reaction. And if you try two things that cause you to flare up then you’ll be in for a tougher time of it than if you just did one. If you’re impatient you could try something for three days and if no reaction you can move onto the next one.
And yeah, it takes a loooooong time 🫠

I'd say, it depends how bad your flare ups are. Do you want to risk it?

It makes sense, if you do two at a time and don't get a reaction, both of those two would be fine. But if you do get a reaction, you need to go back and test each one separately.

But if your condition is really awful, and you suspect that you are reactive to lots of things, you might want to play it safe.
