Forks over Knives While there is no know simple cure for food allergies, there are a number of measures that will help avoid and lessen symptoms and correct the underlying causes. First, all allergenic foods should be identified. After the problematic foods have been identified, the best approach is clearly avoidance of all major allergens, and rotations of all other foods for at least the first few months. As you begin to see improvement, the dietary restrictions can be relaxed, although some people may require a rotation diet indefinitely. If there is a food to which you are strongly allergic, all members of that food family should be avoided.
