not non-allergenic

It’s really important for people to understand that hypoallergenic doesn’t mean that it’s not possible for someone to have an allergic reaction to the things inside it. The “hypo” part of it means that there is a low chance of it. The risk may be low, but it’s not nonexistent. It may seem like you’ve cut out pretty much everything to get this kind of diet going, but there is still a chance that the foods that are left could cause problems. Use this in combination with an elimination diet style and you’ll find it a lot more effective once you are following it in “full force”.
