Allergy Diet - List of Hypoallergenic Foods

With allergies in the body, a distortion of the immune response occurs, which causes it to produce antibodies to harmless substances from the external environment, including food. Diet for allergies helps reduce the strain of immunity in the presence of a violation of its work (autoimmune diseases, etc. ) or if it has not yet formed (in infants).The article provides a list of hypoallergenic foods, a list of foods that should not be eaten, nutritional recommendations for nursing mothers.

Prohibited products for use with allergies

Hypoallergenic product

The food is foreign to the body in terms of its DNA structure, but this usually does not cause a reaction. Even with a sufficient amount of enzymes, some protein molecules do not undergo complete fermentation to amino acids, and can be absorbed into the bloodstream unchanged, causing allergies. An allergy diet consists of such products. These are vegetables, grains and fruits that grow in human areas, do not have a bright red color, and do not contain many proteins and immune agents of the animals from which they are obtained.

When it comes to food allergies, remember thatyou can't eat this food:

  • Coffee, cocoa, chocolate.The reaction to this product is accompanied by a cross-allergy to nuts. They are usually triggered by the caffeine and theobromine in these products.

  • Semi-finished products, smoked products. It contains preservatives, food additives that cause both true allergic and pseudo-allergic reactions. When smoked, many carcinogens are formed.

  • mushrooms.Rich in protein and difficult to ferment, contains chitin and glucan in the cell wall.

  • Beans(peas, beans, peanuts, lentils) - known as a rich source of vegetable protein, which works as an allergen.

  • milk.In addition to casein protein, milk contains antibodies to create passive immunity in the offspring of the animals from which it is obtained (cows, goats, etc. ).

  • Eggs.It contains albumin protein and other nutrients necessary for the development of the bird's embryo and can cause a reaction.

  • Fish and seafood.The presence of M-antigen protein resistant to heat treatment was established in it.

  • Cross allergies(vegetables and fruits). If the patient is allergic to pollen, then the reaction occurs to fruits and vegetables that have a similar pollen structure or that belong to the same genus (poplar, willow, apple). When reacting to pollen, it is easier to determine exactly which foods to eliminate.

  • meat.It contains a lot of protein, but usually due to denaturation during its preparation, the ability to sensitize is greatly reduced.

  • cereal,especially wheat. They contain gluten, albumin and gliadin.

Pseudoallergic reactions and some hypervitaminosis have manifestations similar to allergies. The main difference is the appearance of symptoms at the first entry of foreign peptides into the body, and the dependence of the severity of the deterioration of the patient's condition on the amount of food consumed. Such a reaction appears on fruits and vegetables that are bright red, sometimes orange (tomatoes, pomegranates, citrus fruits, strawberries).

A hypoallergenic diet for nursing mothers prevents food reactions in newborns and reduces gas formation in babies. StrictlyDietary restrictions are important in the first 3 months of a baby's life, because:

  • Nerve regulation of digestion and peristalsis remains immature (one of the causes of colic in newborns);

  • the digestive system is adapting: previously, the child received nutrients from the mother's blood through the umbilical cord; motility of the gastrointestinal tract and the production of gastrointestinal hormones are launched, the active production of bile and pancreatic, duodenal, gastric juice;

  • enzymes in the baby's body are produced in limited quantities. Excess nutrients are not digested, which also causes colic and flatulence;

  • unformed immunity (up to 6 months). Protection of the body is provided by immunoglobulins from breast milk.

When arranging the diet of a nursing woman, it is important that it has enough calories. Daily energy consumption due to lactation increases by 500 kcal.
