Allergies are considered a disease of our time, manifested in increased sensitivity to certain substances, products, materials. The most common types of allergies are: pollen, dust, food, drugs, animal dander, insect bites.
There are two ways to alleviate the condition of the body, with an acute flare of an allergy: by taking medication, or by following a hypoallergenic diet. The diet will be equally effective, regardless of the type and severity of allergies, whether sudden or chronic, in the form of atopic dermatitis. Allergies are a serious disorder of the body that requires medical attention.
Hypoallergenic dietary recommendations are only a small part of what you're allowed to do on your own.
Hypoallergenic diet menu
A person who adheres to such a diet can eliminate foods that cause allergic reactions.
According to the research of nutritionists, all products are divided into 3 groups: hypoallergenic, moderate allergenic and highly allergenic.
Allowed and healthy foods for allergies:
- all grains, except corn,
- crunchy biscuits,
- all kinds of dried fruit,
- unleavened flour products,
- vegetables and fruits that are green or yellow. These are asparagus, cucumbers, apples, cabbage, greens, yellow cherries, gooseberries, pears,
- compotes, jellies and green fruit jellies,
- Red meat,
- dairy products,
- butter.

Advice from professional nutritionists
Remember to pay attention to the fact that every day at lunch you need to eat soup in order for housing and public services to function properly. The establishment should always be based solely on vegetable broth, as meat broth can cause allergic reactions.
As snacks, it is allowed to use cheese, yogurt, fruits, vegetables and tea that can be drunk with lemon.
If you fast this food for at least a week, then you will immediately feel an abundance of strength. Firstly, thanks to a healthy and balanced diet, the body will be able to cleanse itself of toxins and toxins. Second, by eliminating allergens from the diet as much as possible, it becomes easier to monitor the dynamics of allergies and draw conclusions for yourself.
Adults can follow this diet for no more than three weeks, and children up to 9 days. If at the end of the diet you notice an improvement in your health, then gradually you need to add foods that were forbidden before. This should be done at three-day intervals for each new product, as allergic reactions may not appear immediately. This diet is also known as non-specific.
In the absence of improvement, the moderately allergenic foods should be phased out gradually and then the hypoallergenic foods. You can limit your diet only under the supervision of a therapist. To more accurately identify allergies, doctors should keep a diary about your diet and how your body reacts to each product.
You should eat and drink taking into account all the vitamin and mineral needs of the body. You can not eat too much, because the leftovers will not be fully digested, but only toxic to the body.
Protein-rich foods must be combined with vegetables, in which case the fiber in them will prevent the entry of allergens into the bloodstream.
This is a dietary food that is absolutely suitable for all adults, children and even nursing mothers.
