I have been eating lamb and sweet potatoes for most meals during phase 1. I'm currently free of WD, but I wonder if it's because I'm still weaning off of budesonide. How do I really know if lamb is safe? Is it typically always safe for MC patients? I consumed lamb during my life, but primarily for holidays and sometimes during travel. Is there a way to test lamb, or is this food item just trial and error?
Many thanks!

Re: Question about Lamb
Do an elimination test. Avoid lamb for at least a week, to get it out of your system. Starting with a small serving the first day, eat increasingly larger servings each day, for three consecutive days. If you don't react by the end of the third day, you're probably not sensitive to lamb. This works for most proteins because their antibodies have a six or seven day half-life. It won't work for gluten, because gluten antibodies (antigliadin antibodies) have a 120 day half-life.onebigpill wrote:How do I really know if lamb is safe?

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
