If I may comment, foods listed

by stages are designed more for those suffering from diarrhea.

That’s why raw foods are introduced in the latter stage.

Nevertheless, I still follow food by stages so that I can pinpoint

food intolerance, though that’s difficult. My daughter and I are on

Stage 3 right now. She also gets constipated from time to time.

Does it mean that I can go ahead to other stages?

This is the reason Elaine was concerned about people rigidly following

" the stages. "

If you have a core group of lower-stage foods which you know are

tolerated, then I would go ahead and introduce other foods you may like

from higher stages, but do it carefully, one at a time, with, perhaps,

more space between introductions, and watch for reactions, being prepared

to drop back to those foods you know are tolerated if there is a

reaction.

Keep in mind that diarrhea and constipation of opposite ends of the same

spectrum, not two different diseases.
