Soya products and especially organic soya is another good alternative.

Sweet potato is a possible alternative to standard potato.

Spelt bread makes for a good alternative for wheat sensitive people.

However, to confirm if these are good alternatives for you, it is important that you include them in your diet for five to seven days before doing the test.
These antibodies remain in your bloodstream for approximately two to three months. Your test will be assessing your reaction to foods you have eaten over that period.
