Correct!

If symptoms improve after an elimination diet, foods are reintroduced to the diet one at a time until symptoms recur, indicating allergy to that food. The patient should not resume the pre-elimination diet. The patient should not ingest an antihistamine prior to eating a food that is identified as causing an allergy. The patient should not consume a diet of foods known to cause an allergic response.
