Hypoallergenic diet for nursing mothers

A hypoallergenic diet for nursing mothers is needed not so much for the mother as for the baby, whose digestive system is just beginning to form. To avoid dermatitis, diathesis and other skin rashes, it is necessary to minimize the risk of getting allergens into the baby's body. It should be noted that the problem of the newborn's allergy is not directly related to the fact that there is a nursing mother, rather with how well the mother organism perceives food and digests it. That is, with poor digestion, even a harmless oatmeal can cause an unwanted reaction in the child in the form of allergic rashes or colic. Thus, all antihistamines used in the treatment of allergies in the child, just neutralize the symptom, and the solution to the problem is to normalize the digestive process in the mother.

Hypoallergenic diet for nursing mothers involves a transition to a specialized diet with the first symptoms and suspicions of allergies in the baby. The menu includes the following hypoallergenic products:

• Vegetables are white and green, carrots, beets, tomatoes are excluded.
• Fruits are green, all fruits and berries are pink, bright red and citrus.
• Bezgluteinovye cereals - rice, corn slicks or flour, buckwheat. Excludes oatmeal, which contains avenin, on properties similar to glutein.
• Gluten-free pasta is made from durum wheat.
• Bezglutyeinovye sweet products - biscuits, drying, marmalade.
• Poultry meat is excluded. Remain meat beef, white river fish.
• All dairy products are better to make at home (curdled milk, fermented with special dry mixtures of yogurt or kefir).

The basic rules that make up a hypoallergenic diet for nursing mothers are as follows:

• The entire diet should be made only from hypoallergenic products, even if neither the mother nor the baby has any manifestations of allergy. Such products include - bread with bran (better rye and dried), gluten-free cereal cereals - rice, buckwheat, vegetables of white, green color, which must be soaked for at least half an hour before consumption or cooking.
• The rule of the terrain. All products, including vegetables and fruits, must grow in the area where the mother and child live. Exotics, while attractive, but unsafe. Citrus fruits and bananas, brought from afar, should be excluded from the menu.
• Protein food is desirable to combine with the use of biochephors, bio-yogurt, made independently. It is better to buy yeast in pharmacies in dry form.
• All dishes must be cooked in a boiled or baked form. As an alternative - cooking for a couple.

Allergic reactions in young children cause mainly products containing specific amines - histamine and tyramine.

What should be excluded from the diet so as not to provoke an allergic reaction in the child?

• Histamine is found in sauerkraut, ham, in all canned seafood, in tomato and pork liver.
• Tiramin is found in elite varieties of camembert cheeses, cheddar, rockfore, in brie. Also, tyramine can be in melted cheeses. A large amount of tyramine contains brewer's yeast and pickled sea fish - herring, mackerel, horse mackerel.

Hypoallergenic diet for nursing mothers is very important in the first two to three months after the birth of the baby, it is during this period that the enzymatic function of the baby's gastrointestinal system is formed. If within three months the child's condition does not cause fear, the mother's menu can gradually include other, previously prohibited products. Each new dish should be administered within two weeks, while it is necessary to monitor the reaction of the baby's skin to a new product that comes to it through breast milk.
