Eliminate FAQs

How do I mix up Eliminate? +

Blend 4 level scoops with 350-500ml of cold water or dairy free milk, to taste. If you are trying to remove FODMAPs, do not mix it with cow’s milk which is a FODMAP.
Blend or shake (a blender or nutribullet works best).
Use 1 serving to replace 1 meal (up to 4 serves per day) or, in addition to meals if you are using it as a nutritional top up.

If you are using Eliminate to minimise FODMAPS, it is important that you not consume any other foods containing FODMAPS.

If you are using Eliminate for weight loss, it is important anything else you eat is healthy, low calorie and low FODMAP.

What is a Food/Symptoms Diary? +

If you are using Eliminate Meal Replacement to discover which foods trigger your symptoms, it is helpful to keep a diary of what food you eat and the resulting symptoms. A Food/Symptoms diary is especially important during the Reintroduction Phase, when you are testing high FODMAP food to see which triggers you.

Record everything you eat each day, and any symptoms you might have. You can keep a paper journal, take notes on your phone, or use a food App, like the one from Monash University. This will help you determine any correlations between certain foods and symptoms experienced.

For example, after removing bread from your diet for a few weeks, you might then eat a piece. Write down when and how much you ate and then any symptoms you might experience. For example, Breakfast - two pieces of toast - 10 am cramping and wind. You will see patterns emerge between certain food and certain symptoms.

Can I use Eliminate Meal Replacement without doing a strict Elimination Diet? +

Yes. If you already know that certain foods trigger your gut symptoms, then you can skip doing the Elimination Diet and just use Eliminate Meal Replacement to help manage your symptoms. Customers who regularly drink Eliminate report a significant reduction in constipation, diarrhoea, cramping, bloating and stomach gurgling.

It is a simple and cost effective way to reduce FODMAPS but still ensure you are getting all the essential nutrients.

How long can I use Eliminate Meal Replacement for? +

Because it contains absolutely everything you need, you can use Eliminate Meal Replacement for as long as you like.

It is quite low in calories, so if you feel hungry or low in energy at any point, you can also eat any low FODMAP food.

How is Eliminate different from FastFx? +

They are both powdered Meal Replacements that you drink instead of a meal. They are both vegan, high in protein and fibre and contain no dairy, gluten, or artificial sweeteners, favours or colours.

Eliminate Meal Replacement differs from FastFx in that all the ingredients are low in FODMAPS. Its primary purpose is to help you manage gut symptoms by minimising FODMAP triggers, while also providing all the essential nutrients and vitamins you need. The primary purpose of FastFx is healthy weight loss, however it does contain some FODMAPs. While FastFx is tolerated by some people with gut concerns, it does contain Oligofructose and Inulin which are FODMAPs and could be a potential source of discomfort to some.

Eliminate Meal Replacement can be used for weight loss without the dietary triggers.

Can I use Eliminate to lose weight? +

Yes, Eliminate Meal Replacement can be used for weight loss. It meets the very strict NZ and Australian guidelines and contains absolutely all your essential nutrients, while still being very low in calories. It is similar to FastFx, but uses only low FODMAP ingredients. Lose your tummy without upsetting it.

If you do not want to lose weight, Eliminate can also be used as part of a low FODMAP meal plan.

What is Hydrogen Breath Testing for FODMAP intolerance? +

Hydrogen Breath Testing is a medical test used to measure certain food intolerances (available in NZ at our MacMurray Centres). During a Breath Test you drink a variety of liquids which contain different FODMAPS, you then exhale into a special machine which measures the production of intestinal gases. If your gut does not absorb a certain FODMAP well, it will produce a specific gas, which is registered on the breath test machine. You then know that this FODMAP type will trigger symptoms for you.

Breath tests are very helpful for measuring the tolerance of Lactose but, to date, are less reliable for measuring fructose intolerance and are unable to measure gluten intolerance.

Using Eliminate Meal Replacement can be a helpful tool alongside Breath Testing to measure food intolerances, or by itself as part of an Elimination Diet.

I have been told to go on an Elimination diet. Will this help? +

YES! If you have gut problems, your Doctor or Dietitian may have suggested an Elimination diet. This requires you to remove foods (containing FODMAPs) which may be contributing to your symptoms. You will be required to take all these foods out for a period of time, assess how your gut is without these foods in your diet and then slowly reintroduce them back into your diet. When you reintroduce them one by one, it becomes clear which of these you have a low intolerance to and these foods should be avoided or minimised to reduce symptoms.

Following an Elimination diet can be complicated and tiresome and it can also be especially difficult to find foods that you can eat during this period. Eliminate Meal Replacements makes it easy. We have done all the hard work - you just need to scoop, mix and drink and you can be confident that you have minimised the common triggers, but you will still be getting all the essential nutrients you need to stay healthy and energised.

For a definitive answer to your food intolerances, you should use Eliminate for all 3 meals a day for at least 2 weeks.

Then, you can slowly add commonly problematic foods back into your diet and look for symptoms. Once you find a food that gives you symptoms, you can avoid that food. We recommend using the Monash App as a very helpful tool during this phase.

An Elimination diet is best navigated under the guidance of a Dietitian or Doctor.

Will Eliminate definitely help my gut problems? +

Eliminate should help if your concerns are caused by digestive issues or food triggers. Reducing FODMAPs is the most effective way to treat gut symptoms.

While every gut is different, research has linked the ingredients used to a reduction in IBS, gut sensitivity, bloating, wind, bowel issues and cramps.

It is important to note that every person's gut is unique and potentially some individuals might not be helped, or in some cases, their symptoms potentially might worsen.

Gut health is individually personal to each of us. By very nature it is complex, and therefore causes, symptoms and treatments can vary. If you find that Eliminate is not helpful for you personally, please stop using it and discuss with your Doctor about other options for you.

Gut symptoms can also be caused other issues, such as hypersensitivity, hormones and stress. If this is the case, see your Doctor.

Why does the label say not to be used over 65 years? +

Eliminate does not contain anything that is problematic for older people but NZ and Australian labelling laws require this to be a mandatory statement on the label. This is primarily because the RDIs (recommended dietary intake) of vitamins and minerals are based on adults 18-65 years. It is safe for people older than this to use it.

As with any dietary or lifestyle change, it is also a good idea to keep your Doctor informed.

Why does the label say it contains fibres that may cause IBS symptoms? +

The ingredients in Eliminate and Alleviate have been tested and certified by Monash as being low FODMAP. We are confident that the fibres used (Fibersol® and Sunfiber®) are the very best fibres available for people with gut concerns, but, it is important to note that our digestive systems are complex and varied and sensitivity can vary from person to person.

If you find that your symptoms do not improve, or if they get worse, then it could be that your gut is sensitive to these fibres. Please stop using and consult your Doctor for some other options.

Can I use Eliminate while pregnant? +

Yes.

Eliminate does not contain anything that could harm your baby, so it is perfectly safe for you to use while you are pregnant, in fact, all the extra vitamins and minerals would be beneficial for your baby's health.

However, when you are pregnant you need a lot more calories than usual. In your first trimester, you need about 1800 calories per day, second trimester 220 calories per day and in the third trimester, 2,400 calories per day. That means that three Eliminate Smoothies wouldn’t be enough to also feed your baby. It would be important to eat additional calories.

You can use Eliminate as part of a healthy diet, but would need to eat in addition to it.

We are bound by labelling laws that require a precaution statement to be included on packaging, and as you and your baby’s health is paramount, you should always discuss any diet or lifestyle changes with your Doctor or Midwife.

Can I use Eliminate while I am Breastfeeding? +

Yes.

Eliminate does not contain anything that could harm your baby. We have lots of mothers who are breastfeeding who use HealthFx products to top up their essential nutrients during this tiring and energy draining period.

But, the important consideration is that when you are nursing you need about 450-500 extra calories a day. That means that three Eliminate Smoothies alone wouldn't be enough to also feed your baby. You would need to consume about 500 more calories on top of that.

You can use Eliminate as part of your balanced diet, just make sure you add more calories to keep yourself healthy .

We are bound by labelling rules that require precautions to be included on packaging and because you and your baby’s health is paramount, you should discuss any diet or lifestyle change with your Doctor or Midwife.
