Atopic dermatitis is a chronic disease. It comes in the form of an allergy, which is equally common in both children and adults. This kind of dermatitis is transmitted by heredity, has a seasonal character (in winter - exacerbation, in the summer - remission). The disease manifests itself in acute sensitivity to allergenic and non-allergenic irritants, there are rashes, itching.
Since the cause of the disease from the outside is a reaction to some stimulus, the first measure for atopic dermatitis is a diet. We emphasize, even if you are allergic to poplar fluff, the reaction will be manifested when it is combined with the consumption of a highly allergenic product.
Rules of the diet
Hypoallergenic diet for atopic dermatitis is appointed individually by the treating doctor after an accurate diagnosis. Since the reaction with atopic dermatitis does not occur instantaneously, but after a certain period of time, first of all, the contents of the patient's stomach are studied.
If it is a question of what features of a diet for atopic dermatitis in children, the most allergenic for them are the following products:
- egg yolk;
- a fish;
- beans;
- fresh cow's milk;
- wheat products.
In adults, most often, the reaction occurs in combination with inhalant allergens (flowering plants, pollen, fluff, etc.). But the attack is always provoked by food. Therefore, a diet for atopic dermatitis in adults should be excluded:
- nuts;
- fresh vegetables and fruits;
- egg white;
- beef and pork in any form;
- carrot;
- oranges;
- celery;
- apples;
- fish and legumes - in combination with an inhaler allergen can cause a state of anaphylactic shock.
