I'm really thinking about starting this allergy-rotation-diet with my family. I myself, have been on an anti-candida diet for 4 months now and I really think I should involve my family. 2 of my children have Tourette's (and a third one starts with some symptoms), sometimes it's better sometimes worse, but I read the thread about it, and so I think Yeast and/or Allergies might be the problem and one child has ADD.
As I live in Mexico, and don't even know where I should ask for allergy-testing I would like to try this diet. But I have a question (there might be more coming 
):
Is it really important to keep the days apart? Aren't they all allowed foods? So couldn't I eat something from Day 1 on Day 1 and on Day 3 or is that completely forbidden?
My main problem is that I can't get all the foods listed, and so on some days I see my family go hungry . Well, maybe not quite as bad, but for example I can only get butter, ghee (which we make) and olive oil here, (besides Canola), so as far as I saw it I can't use any oil on 2 days 
.
So, I would be thankful if one of you ladies with more insight could help me out.
I'm soooo thankful that I found WTM.
I don't know a whole lot about the allergy rotation diet, but a lady once shared the concept with me, and I think it explains whether you should stick to doing those foods only on those days.
As I understand it, part of the theory behind it is that our bodies get too much of the same things at times--and don't get a break from them. Due to how food is available nowadays, you can eat practically any particular food any time of year. Peaches, blueberries, corn, beans, etc. You can eat it every day, every week, or every month. Your body doesn't necessarily get a break from things.
Back 200 years ago, foods were eaten more when they were in season, and thus were not available for the whole year. With choosing to eat certain foods on certain days (and not repeating them for 3 days), you're giving your body a break from that particular type of food.
Now as I've said, I'm not terribly familiar with the diet, but the science of it does make some sense. You can eat certain foods (and food groups) on a particular day, then you have to avoid it for a few. This gives your body a break from that food group.
For what it's worth, the lady who shared this with me also told me that her family was struggling with allergies, perhaps just her daughter. (I can't recall) After following the rotation diet for a while her daughter is free of those allergies. I don't know how long they followed it, or if the listing of foods above is exactly what they did.
Anyway, in answer to your question I'd say, yes you do have to keep the days apart for it to "work." (And you'd be without oil/butter then for 2 days, I guess.) Assuming of course that the diet is actually effective for helping you with your issues.
