Enjoy a traditional English cream tea, free from the top 6 allergens—dairy, gluten, egg, soy, nuts, and fish—so you can indulge without worry on a 4FED or 6FED Elimination diet.

What are the 4FEd and 6FED Diets for EGIDs:

  • 4FED: A 4-food elimination diet, excluding dairy, wheat, egg, and soy.
  • 6FED: A 6-food elimination diet, excluding dairy, wheat, egg, soy, fish, and nuts.

Recent research shows the 1FED can be as effective as the 6FED diet as first-line therapy for Eosinophilic Oesophagitis (EoE). Eliminating animal milk alone is much easier and more sustainable than eliminating multiple foods. Learn more here.
