What are some common foods that people cut out when they first start an elimination diet?

If you are following the Institute for Functional Medicine's (IFM) Elimination Diet protocol you will want to eliminate all of the following for a minimum of 21 days,
- Dairy, Eggs, Gluten, Peanuts, Pork, Beef, Corn, Shellfish, Soy, Processed Sugars, Alcohol, Coffee, and Chocolate.

After 21-days you begin the reintroduction phase. Slowly reintroducing the foods back into your diet, one at a time, while tracking any symptoms. This enhances your awareness to foods that have an inflammatory effect on your unique body :)

I often recommend starting with the top known"trouble" foods: gluten, dairy, soy, corn, eggs, and sugar. Clients often notice very quickly that one of these foods could be the culprit. (And a quick note: very often, eggs are not the culprit; rather, it's the diet the chickens are fed that can be the problem. Conventionally raised chickens eat a ton of corn and soy, which can show up in the eggs.) Try re-introducing pastured eggs if they're in your budget, and you may find it was never the eggs to begin with.
