Hypoallergenic diet for atopic dermatitis

A hypoallergenic diet is prescribed for atopic dermatitis only when the diagnosis is not in doubt. In the case of child patients, food allergies are the first signs of atopic dermatitis. The most allergenic for children are yolk, fish, all legumes, fresh milk, isolated to wheat products. In adults, the manifestation of food allergies with dermatitis provocation occurs most often in combination with inhaled allergens. The provocateurs of attacks are all kinds of nuts, fresh colored vegetables and fruits. Milk intolerance is less common, in eggs the provocateur is protein. Adults are more likely to suffer from beef and pork in any form, children are more likely to tolerate the use of steamed beef.

A diet is selected for patients with atopic dermatitis, most often individually, taking into account external provocateurs (ecology) and the scope of human activity. It should be noted that no specialist will be able to specify a complete list of products that are prohibited or permitted to use. For the formation of the menu, you need to take into account the features of "cross food allergies. With inhalation provocations of atopic dermatitis, flowering trees with a high degree of probability will cause allergies to carrots, oranges, celery, nuts, apples. If you are allergic to a banana, then melon will be allergenic, but fish, legumes and eggs can cause anaphylactic shock. To adjust the diet should be regularly examined gastrointestinal tract, as many products can be pseudo-allergenic due to functional disorders of the intestinal mucosa.
