Nutrition for allergies to milk and dairy products

Milk and dairy products are important sources of nutrients needed by the human body. Unfortunately, some people are allergic to milk protein, so they are forced to exclude dairy products from their diet, as well as foods in which they are used: pies, cakes, cookies, ice cream, milk chocolate, margarine. However, it is possible to replace them with equivalent food products without harm to the body. A lot of protein is found in meat, fish and eggs; calcium compounds are found in fish, nuts, legumes, and whole grains; Phosphorus is found in egg yolks, meat, crayfish, crabs, and whole grain products.

Milk and dairy products can be replaced with soy analogues. Currently, you can buy soy milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, which in their composition and taste are not inferior to traditional dairy milk.

Hypoallergenic diet

Highly allergenic products (which should be excluded first) include: many varieties of fish; caviar – black and red; seafood; cow's milk; whole milk products; cheeses; chicken (and not only) eggs; smoked (especially raw smoked) and semi-smoked products - meat, fish, sausage, frankfurters, sausages; pickled and canned products, especially industrially produced - stewed meat, canned fish, pickled cucumbers - everything in jars; hot, salty, spicy foods and seasonings, sauces and spices; some vegetables - red pepper, pumpkin, tomatoes, beets, carrots, sauerkraut, sorrel, eggplant, celery; many fruits and berries - primarily red and orange - red apples, strawberries, raspberries, strawberries, sea buckthorn, blackberries, blueberries, grapes, persimmons, pomegranates, cherries, plums, melons, pineapples; citrus; carbonated and fruit waters; flavored yoghurts; chewing gum; many dried fruits - raisins, dried apricots, figs, dates; honey; mushrooms; nuts; marmalade, caramel and chocolate, as well as products made from the latter; juices, compotes, jelly and other drinks from the above mentioned berries, fruits and vegetables; coffee and cocoa; alcoholic drinks; all products containing food additives: dyes, flavors, emulsifiers, preservatives; all exotic products for the area of ​​your permanent residence - for example, turtle meat or avocados.

Moderately allergenic foods are some grains, most often wheat, less often rye; pork, especially fatty pork, horse meat, lamb, turkey, rabbit; corn and buckwheat; the following fruits and berries - peaches, apricots, red and black currants, cranberries, bananas, lingonberries, watermelons; herbal decoctions; such vegetables are green peppers, potatoes, peas, legumes.

Products that pose the lowest risk: fermented milk products (ryazhenka, cottage cheese, kefir, natural yogurt without additives; some types of fish (cod, sea bass and some others); lean varieties of pork and beef, boiled or stewed, chicken; offal - liver, kidneys, tongue; bread, primarily rice, buckwheat and corn; the following vegetables and greens - cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, broccoli, spinach, cucumbers, parsley, dill, green salad, zucchini, squash, turnips, rutabaga. ; oils - sunflower and olive; oatmeal, pearl barley, rice and semolina; green apples, pears, white currants, white cherries; dried fruits - dried apples, pears; weak tea; still mineral water.

How long should a hypoallergenic diet last? For adults, its duration is 2-3 weeks, for children – 7-10 days. If improvement is observed during this time, one prohibited product is introduced into the diet. If an allergic reaction occurs within three days, then this product is an allergen. New products should be introduced no more often than once every 3 days, since it takes 3 days for the accumulation of allergens in the body.

When following a hypoallergenic diet, you should definitely adhere to the following rules: do not overeat, diversify your diet, while adhering to the restrictions prescribed by the diet.

Remember that diet therapy must be discussed with your doctor!

Figures and facts

Allergies to cow's milk protein are considered one of the most common in the world - both in children and adults. In Russia, it is diagnosed in 2–5% of formula-fed children and 0.5–1.5% of breastfed children during the first year of life. In children with atopic dermatitis (according to the Union of Pediatricians of Russia, this is 10-15% of children under 5 years of age and 15-20% of schoolchildren, incidence statistics are steadily growing from year to year), intolerance to cow's milk proteins reaches 75-80%.

These numbers are inaccurate due to diagnostic problems. A typical story: a child is covered with “diathesis”, a local pediatrician or dermatologist prescribes a “hypoallergenic” diet for him and his nursing mother - without tangerines, red fish, smoked meats, caviar, blue cheeses, eggs, honey (as if nursing mothers and babies do nothing but that they eat caviar!). Plus, a cocktail of medications that relieve skin manifestations and other symptoms. The allergy does not go away - the list of exceptions (and with it the stress for everyone who cares for the child) grows, and now the family is “on buckwheat, turkey and kefir.” If they are lucky, they will come across an allergist who will refer them for tests to identify specific allergens to which this particular child reacts. And there you go! - it turns out that you shouldn’t drink kefir, but you can drink caviar and chocolate. The Association of Children's Allergists and Immunologists of Russia recommends treating food allergies and atopic dermatitis this way, but this tactic has not yet become a pediatric standard.

If an allergy to cow's milk proteins is confirmed, you should try to minimize or completely eliminate them from everyday use (sensitivity to the allergen in different people can vary from complete intolerance to a reaction only to a significant amount of the allergen).

Here is a list of foods and ingredients that people with cow's milk protein allergies should avoid:
▪ Milk (in any form, including whole, skim, rendered, condensed, powdered, as well as goat’s milk and milk from other animals - since the risk of cross-allergy with them is very high)
▪ Milk fat and its derivatives: butter, ghee, butyric acid, milk fat fatty acid esters (used as flavoring agents, can be hidden under codes such as “E-...")
▪ Cheese, cottage cheese
▪ Kefir, yogurt
▪ Sour cream
▪ Curdled milk
▪ Custard
▪ Casein, casein hydrolysate, caseinate
▪ Diacetyl
▪ Lactalbumin, lactalbumin phosphate
▪ Lactoferrin
▪ Lactose
▪ Lactulose
▪ Milk protein hydrolyzate
▪ Recaldent (a substance used in teeth whiteners, toothpastes and chewing gums)
▪ Rennin (rennet)
▪ Tagatose
▪ Whey, whey hydrolysate

Personal experience

How to adjust your diet? In Western countries, a well-developed vegetarian food industry is coming to the rescue. In Russia, this is still exotic - a large selection of “alternative” products can be found in several specialized stores, but you won’t run out there “for milk” for your morning porridge. Therefore, I will talk about our main solutions, implemented with the help of ordinary Moscow supermarkets.

First, the milk itself: for cereals, breakfast cereals, pancakes, baked goods, milkshakes, custard and homemade ice cream, we use soy milk. Most often - Alpro Soya, because it is available in the nearest store (only 4 types: bio, “with calcium”, vanilla and chocolate - we buy bio, it has a minimum of additives and the most neutral taste). Recently, Joya soy milk appeared in Auchan, we also liked it (the brand has a large line of soy products, like Alpro Soya, but so far we have only seen plain Joya Natur milk on the shelves). “Azbuka Vkusa” has a whole line of “vegan” Isola Bio drinks - “milk” made from soy, hazelnuts, almonds, rice, quinoa, oats, wheat and millet. Of the ones we tried: we didn’t really like the soya one compared to Joya and Alpro Soya, the rice one has a distinct taste of sunflower oil, the almond one is good as a stand-alone drink or an addition to breakfast cereals, it has a very strong almond aroma and is not very homogeneous consistency, so it is not suitable for cooking instead of regular milk (some mothers I know prepare this milk themselves, at home - there are recipes on the Internet).

Secondly, “fermented milk”, which many consider an indispensable source of beneficial microflora (lacto- and bifidobacteria), which normalizes intestinal function. I don’t know if this is a myth or a real necessity, but at first we tried to look for an alternative to kefir and fermented baked milk, and then we simply began to do without them. So, a couple of years ago we bought Alpro Soya soy fruit “yogurts” enriched with lactobacilli - alas, they disappeared from the assortment, and since then I have not seen them in Moscow stores. At the same time, we discovered Velle jelly - this is an oat drink with a fruit filling, “fermented” with a cocktail of probiotics, lactobacilli and bifidobacteria (now the brand has other “breakfasts” with a similar recipe, but with different tastes and textures). Children really like Velle - but that's because it contains sugar. For the same reason, we quickly stopped buying it regularly and now use it only occasionally as a dessert. Thus, now children do not consume any special “live” drinks and products every day (theoretically, they could be replaced with powders from the pharmacy - but this requires separate and special knowledge) - they drink kefir from time to time (in kindergarten or some other other situations beyond my choice), and no noticeable changes in their well-being occurred in connection with this.

Thirdly, factory products. In stores, you will have to study the labels on all products very carefully - this takes more time than usual, and sometimes you have to look for a replacement for a familiar product or a conveniently located store - but in the end, it seems to me, it helps to improve the health of the entire home diet. Some familiar, but not very healthy products are eliminated completely, after you find out what (in addition to the desired “milk agents”) they are made from (we used to really love crab sticks, but not now), some are replaced with healthy alternatives (children with childhood, they love dark chocolate, although others, accustomed to sweet Kinder surprises and milk bars, spit at it) or products of other brands.

Gradually, a full-fledged “white list” of products for every day is built up, and the purchasing process becomes almost as fast and automatic as before the war on milk protein.

It’s more difficult with restaurants - you won’t be able to control the cooking and replace the ingredient; you can only choose relatively “clean” dishes (fruit sorbet instead of creamy ice cream, clear broth instead of cream soup, pasta with tomato sauce rather than cheese sauce, etc.) . Fortunately, my children are not at risk of anaphylactic shock and angioedema from “traces of milk” - they can tolerate a small dose of the allergen without consequences, so on weekends or on trips we often eat out, maintaining a balance with carefully selected products the rest of the time.

The good news is that, according to statistics, allergies to cow's milk proteins in 85% of children who are sensitive to it in the first years of life go away with age. Limited consumption of products containing it during pregnancy and at an early age (that is, gradually accustoming the body to the allergen) also reduces the risk of allergies and the severity of the reaction. “Atopics” will have to be selective all their lives, but it’s good that there are more and more recipes and options for replacing cow’s milk. Here are our favorite recipes.

What foods cause severe allergies, how to create a diet, what additives should be avoided and what a mother of an infant should eat - you can find out about this here.

You will also know which diet for allergies in adults is effective in the seasonal form of the disease, cross-reactions, during exacerbation and “hibernation” of the disease.

The influence of nutrition on the health of the body

The influence of nutrition on the human body is difficult to overestimate.

Food gives us:

• energy;
• material for the “construction” of cells;
• normal operation of all systems.

The body must receive food with sufficient amounts of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. Only in this case will it work normally.

Thus, with a lack of vitamins and minerals, a person more often suffers from infectious diseases and gets tired quickly. He may develop depression, anemia, impaired vision, etc.

The main requirement for food is its usefulness. Too much fat, sugar and salt in the diet leads to diabetes, obesity, allergies and many other diseases.

A sufficient content of vegetables and fruits in food, on the contrary, reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 30%, and all forms of cancer by 20%.

What is diet therapy

Diet therapy is a treatment method using specially formulated nutrition.

This treatment method is effective in treating diseases of the digestive system, kidney and liver diseases, allergies, diabetes, obesity, oncology and infectious diseases.

In particular, for the treatment of allergic diseases of any nature, it is very important to adhere to a hypoallergenic diet: this can significantly reduce the symptoms of the disease or completely rid you of allergies.

Types of diets for allergies in adults

There are nonspecific or elimination diets.

The first involves the exclusion of a group of foods that are considered the most allergic, and the second involves the exclusion of foods that cause a reaction in a particular person.

Nonspecific

A nonspecific diet is suitable for all types of allergic reactions. With this type of diet, the most allergic foods are completely excluded from the diet (for example, milk and seafood).

Products with lower allergen concentrations are limited, and the main diet consists of foods with low allergen concentrations.

With this diet, the main part of the diet should be:

• gray bread;
• fermented milk products (preferably one-day ones);
• green vegetables (cucumbers, zucchini, cabbage, lettuce, etc.);
• porridge: barley, oatmeal, rice;
• butter and vegetable oil;
• lean meat;
• tea, still mineral water;
• green apples and pears.

You can eat sugar, legumes, potatoes, corn, buckwheat and wheat in limited quantities.

Adults adhere to this diet for 2 to 3 weeks.

Elimination

An elimination diet involves removing a specific allergen from the diet. To do this, you need to know what an allergic reaction occurs to.

If you have a food allergy, you need to remove the allergen completely or greatly reduce its consumption. If the reaction is seasonal, then individual products are removed from the diet during the flowering period of the corresponding plants.

In case of severe allergy to milk, a dairy-free diet is prescribed, excluding all types of dairy products, dough products and sweets made with milk (including powdered milk) and seasonings using it.

An egg-free diet excludes all foods that contain egg white or yolk, including sweets and baked goods, pasta and mayonnaise.

Types of products based on allergen content

Almost any product can cause an allergic reaction, but some are less and some are more allergenic.

And if you don’t know exactly which product causes your reaction, you should reduce your diet at the expense of the most allergenic foods.

In any case, you should exclude smoked and pickled foods, mayonnaise, seasonings (horseradish, pepper, mustard) and alcohol from your menu.

Highly concentrated

The following products have an increased degree of allergenicity:

• nuts;
• dairy products;
• fish and seafood;
• poultry meat (excluding turkey);
• citrus fruits, pineapples, mangoes, strawberries, melon;
• spices, vinegar, mustard, horseradish;
• eggs and mushrooms;
• coffee and cocoa products;
• smoked products, mayonnaise;
• honey, confectionery;
• tomatoes, eggplants, radishes.

Moderately active

Among the products with average allergic activity are:

• meat: beef and chicken;
• vegetables: potatoes, turnips and beets;
• buckwheat, rice and oats;
• peas, soybeans and beans;
• berries: lingonberries, blueberries, black currants, rose hips, cherries, cranberries.

Low concentrated

The following foods have the minimum amount of allergens:

• turkey, rabbit, lean lamb or pork;
• fermented milk products;
• porridge: pearl barley, millet, corn;
• vegetables: cauliflower and white cabbage, zucchini, broccoli, parsley and dill;
• fruits: white, green or yellow pears, apples, plums, cherries, currants.

Carefully! Supplements!

Food additives are added to foods to give them certain properties or extend shelf life. However, such products often cause allergies.

The following are especially dangerous for allergy sufferers:

1. dyes: E 102, E 110, E 122, E 123, E 124, E 127, E 151;
2. flavor enhancers, flavorings B 550-553;
3. antioxidant E 321;
4. preservatives E 220-227, E 249-252, E 210-219.

What is the best way to eat during acute illness?

Highly allergenic foods should be excluded, especially if they are allergens for you personally. The main diet consists of low-allergenic foods that suit you.

Can be used:

• mild cheese;
• special canned food for baby food;
• second grade wheat bread;
• diet bread.

As a rule, light pumpkin, beans, gooseberries, and white currants are well tolerated.

Limited to:

• semolina;
• bread made from premium flour;
• pasta;
• the same applies to dairy products and vegetables (carrots, beets, turnips, garlic, onions).

Nutrition during the “hibernation” of the disease

You need to know which foods you are allowed to eat and which ones you are not allowed to eat. Discuss this issue with your allergist. It makes sense to take skin tests or a blood test for specific IgE.

Try new foods little by little, and it is important that there is a person nearby who can help you.

It is better to give up semi-finished products, mayonnaise, ketchup, and store-bought preserves. And carefully study the composition of each product.

Buy fish and meat whole and cook it yourself.

Allergic crossovers

Cross-allergic reactions occur due to the similarity of some plant (or animal) allergens to proteins in foods. Most often, people with allergies to pollen suffer from them.

Types of cross reactions

If you are allergic to cow's milk, you may also be allergic to goat's milk, beef or veal.

If you are allergic to chicken eggs, there is usually food intolerance to chicken, quail and duck meat, quail eggs, a reaction to feathers and down, medications containing egg protein (vaccines, interferon, etc.).

If you are intolerant to strawberries, you should be careful with raspberries, blackberries, lingonberries and currants.

Let's look at other cross reactions:

• fish: other types of fish, seafood, fish food;
• nuts: other types of nuts, rice, buckwheat and oat flour, kiwi and mango, poppy and sesame, hazel and birch pollen;
• peanut: soybeans, stone fruits, green peas, latex and tomatoes.

What to eat for a mother of a baby

For a nursing mother, it is important not to eat a lot, but to consume high-quality foods that do not cause allergies in the baby.

As a rule, if mom and dad did not have food intolerance, it is also rare in the child, but it is worth being careful.

• kefir, cheese and fermented baked milk;
• white fish (saury, haddock, hake, etc.);
• beef, turkey or rabbit meat;
• rice, corn and buckwheat;

For vegetables, choose those that are white or green. You can eat light pumpkin, cauliflower or broccoli, turnips, and olives.

For fruits, choose yellow and green apples, yellow cherries, bananas and apricots.

It is better not to overindulge in sweets, but from time to time you can treat yourself to marshmallows, marmalade or biscuits.

So as not to cause a reaction

There is a fairly large group of foods that can cause colic or skin rashes in babies, but some of them may be well tolerated by your baby. .

However, for the entire feeding period you should forget about:

• canned food;
• strong coffee;
• alcohol;
• hot sauces and seasonings;
• semi-finished products;
• Avoid products containing dyes or fragrances.

The most common causes of allergies in children are:

• cow's milk;
• chicken eggs;
• sausages, sausages, smoked and products;
• red fish, seafood, caviar;
• soy, mayonnaise;
• cocoa, chocolate, honey;
• red berries, fruits, vegetables;
• mushrooms, nuts;
• exotic fruits.

Introduce any new foods one at a time and in small portions, then you can track what is well tolerated by the child and what is worse.

If your child is allergic

If your son or daughter has eczema (allergic skin rashes), you should not only eliminate foods that may cause allergies, but also limit the consumption of certain others.

You should reduce your consumption of meat broths, wheat flour products, and bright orange fruits and vegetables.

Spicy, pickled and salty foods are contraindicated for you; seeds and spices should be excluded.

• butter, fermented milk products;
• tongue and kidneys;
• olive and sunflower oil;
• dietary bread made from rice, corn or buckwheat;
• green.

In general, you should stick to the standard menu of a nursing mother, excluding foods that cause a reaction in the baby.

What to eat when in food form

A diet for food allergies in adults involves avoiding:

• citrus fruits;
• alcoholic drinks;
• fish products;
• mayonnaise;
• ketchup;
• spicy, smoked and salty food.

Banned:

• honey and confectionery;
• exotic fruits;
• chocolate and coffee;
• as well as products with dyes and flavors.

It also makes sense to temporarily exclude:

1. eggs;
2. mushrooms;
3. nuts;
4. as well as red and orange berries and fruits.

The question arises, what to eat if you have a food allergy?

• boiled beef or turkey;
• rice, buckwheat or oatmeal;
• cucumbers, cabbage, green peas, herbs;
• pre-soaked potatoes;
• kefir, cottage cheese, yogurt without additives;
• feta cheese;
• green apples and pears, dried fruit compote.

You can also have tea, dried white bread or unleavened flatbread, vegetarian soups made from foods that do not cause allergies.

What if it’s a reaction to sweets?

Food allergies to sweets are most often associated with a reaction to eggs or dairy products included in the product.

Very often there are allergies to fructose, flavorings, baking powder, etc. Often there is an allergy to pieces of fruit, lemon zest or cocoa.

Sugar itself does not cause allergies, but it often creates fermentation in the stomach, thereby increasing allergic manifestations.

You need to test for different allergens to find out which foods actually cause a reaction and which do not. And adjust your diet.

You can also try to reduce the amount of sweets to an amount that will not cause you discomfort.

Features of nutrition in seasonal form

To prevent complications during the flowering period of plants, you need a diet that eliminates the possible occurrence of allergic reactions.

The diet for seasonal allergies in adults should exclude foods that may cause cross-reactions.

For example, if you are allergic to tree pollen, you should not consume:

• tree fruits, as well as raspberries and kiwis;
• vegetables: cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, parsley, dill, olives;
• all types of nuts;
• decoctions from buds or cones of trees, calendula flowers.

If your allergen is weed pollen (ragweed, chicory, wormwood), calendula or sunflower, then you should exclude the following products:

• sunflower and pumpkin seeds, as well as food including their components (vegetable oil, halva, etc.);
• vegetables, berries and fruits: greens, zucchini, garlic, eggplant, carrots, melon, watermelon, bananas and citrus fruits;
• mayonnaise and mustard;
• alcoholic drinks and herbal medicines;

Of course, treatment with any herbs is also not safe for you.

If you are allergic to cereal pollen (wheat, rye, corn, buckwheat, oats), the following is contraindicated:

• porridge made from oatmeal, rice and wheat flour;
• bakery products;
• kvass, beer and coffee;
• smoked products;
• strawberries, wild strawberries and citrus fruits;
• products containing cocoa.

Can you eat everything with the medicinal form?

With the medicinal form of allergies, there are no restrictions on the consumption of foods. However, during exacerbations (after taking some drug that caused a reaction), restrictions on the diet should be introduced until the condition completely improves.

In the acute stage, you should take sorbents and eat nothing for the first 2 days, but drink a lot of water.

If you are allergic to aspirin, you should limit your intake:

• fruits: citrus fruits, peaches, plums, melons;
• berries;
• vegetables: potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers.

If you have a reaction to antibiotics, the following products are prohibited:

• industrial production (sausages, carbonated drinks, etc.);
• exotic fruits;
• fatty, spicy and fried foods;
• eggs;
• seafood;
• nuts;
• strawberry;
• grapes and mushrooms.

It is worth limiting the consumption of chicken meat, dairy products, and using beets, carrots, cherries, cranberries and bananas with caution.

Can proper nutrition replace treatment?

Proper nutrition is only part (albeit a very important one) of complex therapy.

In addition to the correct menu, you should limit contact with other allergens (give your cat to a friend if you are allergic to cat hair, do wet cleaning regularly, get rid of feather pillows if you are allergic to feathers or mites, etc.).

It is also important to take antihistamines as they will reduce the risk of complications.

How to create a menu for the week

Calculate the number of calories so that you receive approximately 2800 kcal per day.

The ideal option would be if the daily diet includes six meals in small portions.

The menu should be as balanced as possible.

For adults suffering from allergies, meals should be served either boiled or steamed. Soups are prepared with a change of broth (preferably twice). The amount of salt per day should not exceed 7 g.

It is clear that your diet should not contain foods that cause you a reaction, as well as obviously harmful foods (canned food, alcohol, mayonnaise, etc.).

You should not independently select medications to treat allergies in yourself, and especially in children. They may cause complications for you.

You should also not take antibiotics or sulfonamides without consulting your allergist. No one should risk their life thoughtlessly.

Please note that a delay in treatment can turn “harmless” allergic rhinitis into bronchial asthma.

The basis of human health is proper nutrition. For a person suffering from allergies, it should consist of foods that do not cause a reaction.

Only in this case can you forget about this disease for a long period.

Nowadays, it is difficult to meet a person who, to one degree or another, has not encountered in his life such a common disease as allergies. Very often this problem has roots from deep childhood, because not paying due attention to childhood milk allergies can provoke an expansion of the list of allergens in adulthood. What should be the diet for a milk allergy? Our article will reveal this topic to you.

Causes of milk allergy

Once born, babies are very dependent on the mother’s food preferences. At this time, the body is just beginning to adapt to foreign proteins and excess dairy products consumed by the mother can lead to a serious allergic reaction. Therefore, at the first signs of allergy, it is the mother who needs to switch to a strict hypoallergenic diet.

Another important reason for the occurrence of this disease is hereditary predisposition. In addition, some features of the baby’s body can provoke the occurrence of unfavorable symptoms, namely:

Disturbance of the gastrointestinal tract
. Unformed microflora or high permeability of the intestinal mucosa
. Insufficient formation of digestive enzymes

Forms of allergy manifestation

An allergy to cow's milk can manifest itself as follows:

Skin rashes (dermatitis)
. Unstable chair
. Regurgitation
. Flatulence
. Dyspnea
. Cough
. Conjunctivitis
. Runny nose

Diet while breastfeeding

If you suspect that it is milk that is causing problems for your baby, you need to make sure of this by contacting an allergist and doing the necessary tests. Until you receive an answer, it is worth excluding foods such as:

Fresh milk and dairy products
. Eggs
. Fish roe and some types of fish
. Seafood
. Mushrooms
. Nuts
. Honey
. Cocoa and coffee
. Fruits, vegetables and berries in red and orange colors
. Pineapples, kiwi, avocado
. Mushroom, meat and fish broths
. Sausages, ham
. Marinades, as well as canned food, spices and salty dishes
. Sauerkraut, radish and radish,
. Sweet carbonated drinks, kvass
. Products containing chemical additives

It is worth limiting the consumption of baked goods, sweets and salt.

Green vegetables and fruits
. Porridge
. Vegetable and cereal soups
. Dried white bread
. Low-fat boiled and stewed meats

Diet for artificial and mixed feeding

When mixed feeding, the mother’s diet is also of great importance - having confirmed the suspicion of a “dairy” allergy, she needs to completely exclude any dairy products from her diet. It is worth feeding the baby with formulas based on soy or milk hydrolyzate (during hydrolysis, milk molecules become smaller, which almost completely eliminates the possibility of allergies). There are three types of such hypoallergenic baby food products:

1. Treatment group. Mixtures related to it do not contain allergens (Nutrilon Pepti, Alfare Frisopep, TSC, Tutteli-Peptidi, etc.). They are prescribed for severe sensitivity to milk proteins.

2. Treatment and prevention group. Mixtures in this group are recommended for use with mild to moderate sensitivity to cow's milk proteins. This group includes: Humana GA 0, GA 1, GA 2, Nutrilak GA, Hipp GA 1 and GA 2.

3. Prevention group. It makes sense to use mixtures of this kind to prevent allergies or after the complete disappearance of its symptoms (Nan GA is more suitable here than others).

A formula-fed baby is prescribed a mixture suitable for the specific case with the gradual introduction (according to age) of products belonging to the hypoallergenic group.

Milk allergies are very common today. You should not ignore its manifestations, believing that the child will “outgrow it” - this is almost guaranteed to bring even bigger problems.

An allergy is an immune disorder that occurs when special substances called allergens enter the body. Allergens cause pain in the eyes, swelling, runny nose, skin rash in adults, headaches and other symptoms. Various substances can act as allergens; Some of the most serious allergens are certain foods. Let's find out what diet is needed for allergies in adults.

Food allergies and their causes

Today, scientists have little understanding of why some people develop allergies to certain foods and others do not. It is believed that risk factors are unfavorable environmental conditions, genetic predisposition, the presence of certain diseases, and so on. Scientists have also found that some foods often cause allergies, while others do not. Of course, if you know a specific food allergen, then it is advisable to simply exclude it from your diet. However, sometimes it is quite difficult to determine which product is causing allergy symptoms, so it is worth thinking about adjusting your own diet.

Groups of food allergens

Each product has a certain allergic activity. Allergies can be triggered not only by the products themselves, but also by the methods of their processing. For example, lean pork fried in a small amount of vegetable oil rarely causes allergies, but fatty pork fried in a large amount of oil with plenty of seasonings causes allergies quite often. It was also found that high-calorie foods cause allergies more often than low-calorie foods (although it is also not entirely true to believe that low-calorie foods do not cause allergies). In general, depending on allergic activity, all products can be divided into several groups:

If you have been diagnosed with an allergy, it makes sense to change your diet. To prevent allergies from interfering with your life, you will have to go on a hypoallergenic diet and give up some foods. There is a common myth that a hypoallergenic strict diet for serious allergies contains only tasteless, non-nutritious foods, so it is quite difficult to complete it. Below we will show that highly allergenic foods can be replaced with hypoallergenic foods without significant loss of flavor diversity:

• Smoked and pickled products.
• Sauerkraut.
• Alcoholic and carbonated sweet drinks.
• Products with a large number of different preservatives and flavoring substances.
• Chewing gum.
• Various salty snacks - chips, crackers, nuts and so on.

Also remember a few tips from healthy lifestyle supporters:

• Allergic foods should be excluded from the diet.
• Recipes should not contain various fried, smoked and salted foods. If you want meat, boil it or make steamed cutlets. It has been shown that frying, smoking and salting produce various substances that can trigger allergies, while cooking does not release such substances.
• Nutrition for allergies in adults should be balanced. Don't eat a lot of food. It is advisable to eat food in medium portions 3-4 times a day.
• Diet for skin allergies should never include citrus products.
• Stop drinking alcohol.
• It is also important not to over-salt your dishes.
• Cooking doesn't have to take a lot of time.

Also remember that such a hypoallergenic dietary course lasts about 1-2 weeks. In most cases, by the end of 2 weeks, the number of allergic reactions is noticeably reduced, and metabolic processes in the body are stabilized, which leads to recovery. After completing a course of a hypoallergenic diet, you can start eating as before again, but doctors do not advise doing this, as this may provoke the emergence of a new allergy. However, doctors also agree that after going through a hypoallergenic diet, you can relax a little and include foods with moderate allergenic activity in your diet, although it is advisable to completely avoid highly allergenic foods.
