Thank you for your replies and no thank you to the negativity.
I was asked to do the basic elimination diet for 21 days. It is a basic diet to start therefore I was looking for some ideas/recipes/advice. Nothing more, nothing less. I was hoping for a response from people that have done this to get their input, not negative opinions. Thanks anyways.

The problem is "the basic elimination diet" is not a thing any of us know exists. What are you eliminating? Is it published somewhere? There are plenty of active posters with digestive and autoimmune issues who I'm sure have done elimination diets, but the consensus seems to be that these diets tend to be specific to the person or condition. If you'd like to provide more info, I'm sure there are people here who can speak to their experience.

We can't give advice, ideas or recipes without knowing what foods you need to eliminate and and what foods you can eat.
Did your doctor give you a list of foods to eliminate or just send you off with "follow any basic elimination diet"? What is the purpose of doing the elimination diet?

I don't think it's as common as you seem to think, that's why no one knows what the kitten you can eat...

Can you eat popcorn? I would be sad if that had to be eliminated from my diet.

The Autoimmune Protocol, Wahls Protocol, Specific Carbohydrate Diet, FODMAP, Whole30. These are examples of elimination diets, yet all have different yes/no foods. We need specifics.

Edited to mention these are diets to figure out what triggers or aggravates autoimmune inflammatory symptoms. Not for weight or general health issues. Why do you think you need an elimination diet, and what can you eat? Maybe your doctor needs to refer you to a dietitian for help.
