How The Elemental Diet Works

  • The elemental diet is a pre-digested, low‑fiber meal replacement that absorbs quickly and soothes the gut.
  • It limits residue and gives the intestine a rest while reducing antigen exposure and possible dysbiosis drivers.

Reduces Food Irritation And Improves Tolerance

  • Elemental diets can reduce irritation from unknown food intolerances and improve tolerance as the gut heals.
  • Dr. Ruscio notes patients often become more food-tolerant after using an elemental reset.
ADVICE

Two-Stage Reset: Short Exclusive Then Hybrid

  • Try a short 2–4 day exclusive elemental reset, then switch to a hybrid: replace ~50% of calories with shakes.
  • This hybrid approach is easier to comply with and has shown good clinical results for IBD and SIBO.
