Bad ecology, use of chemicals ingrowing plants, experiments with various food additives, which are fed almost all semifinished products and many other similar factors lead to the emergence of allergies. And with this disease equally often encountered as representatives of the weaker sex, living in megacities, and rural women. Putting a hand on the heart, allergy can really be called a serious illness of the 21st century. 
Diet for allergies: what to look for
To begin with, you need to figure out whatis an allergy and why it is so scary. So, this is the reaction of your immune system to a foreign protein that enters the body. What is most interesting, the first time your body can not react to the allergen. Only after the second-third contact with this substance, itching, runny nose, redness, etc. may appear. Therefore, it is sometimes very difficult to determine what you are really allergic to: medicine, animals, weather conditions or products. Undoubtedly, after the tests and diagnostics in each specific case a definite course of treatment will be assigned. Plus, to avoid relapse or deterioration, the patient will have to adhere to a strict diet. Usually the menu is written out based on the patient's condition. Pay attention: the diet for allergies is appointed only by the attending physician! Do self-medication in any case impossible. Therefore, before you start experimenting with food and foods, first consult with the doctor about what you can cook at first. By the way, to quickly determine what the problem lies in, you can donate blood for tests. But, unfortunately, such procedures do not always give an absolute answer.
Nutrition for every day: what you should know about the patient
Your first priority is to get rid ofsymptoms of manifestation (rash, itching, irritation) and cleanse the body of the allergen. In this case, dietary nutrition performs two main functions simultaneously. The first is a diagnostic one, the second is a medical one. By eliminating or introducing gradually those or other products into your menu, you can easily identify the immediate cause. Introduce the new ingredient carefully. Trying even one strawberry or grapes, you run the risk of your health (especially if the allergy is manifested very quickly and strongly). Therefore, near you should always lie first-aid kit, so that relatives or friends can provide first aid. Plus, do not experiment alone. Diet for allergies is a healthy, full and proper diet, in which there should not be harmful substances. Do not buy convenience foods and fast food. Do not be lazy to cut meat and fish yourself. In the packaged fillets, canned food, preparations, there are dyes, stabilizers, fragrances and other additives that will eventually provoke deterioration. Read the composition and ask for certificates. Thanks to this you will be able to protect yourself from falsification. Of course, there is still a possibility that mayonnaise or ketchup contains substances not indicated on the package. But so you at least a little secure yourself, reducing the risk of acquiring substandard products to a minimum. 
Diet during an exacerbation
The person who discovered the first symptomsallergies, you need, first of all, go to a non-specific hypoallergenic diet. At the same time, it is forbidden to introduce prohibited products until a complete improvement occurs. But even if you feel great, it's better to wait a couple of weeks. Pay attention: the diet for allergies does not obey the law: "If you really want, you can do it a little." In this case, you will provoke an aggravation. So, exclude from your diet highly allergenic foods, to which the body reacts acutely. They include:
- Some varieties of fish, seafood (black and red caviar, mussels, squids, rapans);
- any fresh and sour-milk products, eggs;
- canned and marinades, smoked, spicy, salty dishes, spices, condiments, sauces;
- pepper, pumpkin, tomatoes, beets, eggplants, carrots, sorrel, celery. Also, you can not eat berries and fruits, especially those that have a pronounced red and orange color, and absolutely all citrus;
- packaged juices and carbonated drinks, flavored yogurt with additives and chewing gum;
- dried fruits, for example, such as raisins, dried apricots,dates, figs, honey bees, absolutely all mushrooms and all kinds of nuts. Under the taboo of sweets like marmalade, caramel, chocolate and all products with its addition;
- home fruit juices, compotes and other drinks prepared with the addition of the above berries, fruits and vegetables, as well as coffee and cocoa, alcoholic beverages;
- all foods that have nutritional supplements (emulsifiers, preservatives, dyes, flavors);
- all exotic products brought fromeastern countries. The fact is that before transportation they are treated with chemistry or wax. So your favorite apples, peaches, bananas are stored much longer. But, unfortunately, you can not wash off all the aforementioned mucks with water.
Food is a big issue, whichbelong to the category of average activity. They can cause allergies, but such cases are very rare. Therefore, they should be excluded only by the appointment of your nutritionist. So, the problems can be with some cereals (wheat, corn, buckwheat, rye), fatty meat varieties (pork, horse meat, lamb, turkey and rabbit), fruits and berries (red and black currants, peaches, bananas, cranberries, apricots, cranberry, watermelon). Also provoke a negative reaction of your body can vegetables such as green pepper, potatoes, peas, some legumes. The third category is low-allergenic foods, which should be eaten at the time of an allergy exacerbation. You can eat some types of fish (cod, sea bass), lean meat, sour-milk products, offal, rice, buckwheat and corn loaves. It is also recommended to eat vegetables and greens, but only after you make sure that you do not have allergies on them. Oats, pearl, rice, semolina, cream, sunflower and olive oil, green apples and pears, gooseberries and white currants are considered safe. Some dried fruits are allowed (these can be dried apples, pears and prunes). As you already understood, the diet for allergies in adults and children necessarily begins with the exclusion of high-allergenic substances from their diet. It will also be necessary to strictly limit the consumption of vegetables and fruits from the second category. Only this way you can achieve full recovery. 
How to eat with allergy
It is not necessary to get rid of vegetables and fruits,to cope with allergies. You can eat fully, balanced, not denying yourself a small feast of the stomach. The main thing - to observe the measure and not to overeat. Do not eat more than you need, even if your body normally tolerates a favorite product. If you ate one strawberry at a time, nothing will happen to you. When you use a kilogram of this delicious berry, the allergy will immediately manifest itself. Do not forget about the diversity. Do not get hung up on one thing. If you stop eating fruits, vegetables, fish, and will sit on some porridges, from where your body take vitamins and useful elements. It is necessary to diversify the daily diet, of course, in the diet allowed by the diet. Experts recommend to use one type of food every three days. That is, if on Monday you ate broccoli, it is better to cook the dishes from it the next time not earlier than on Thursday. This requirement is explained by the fact that allergic manifestations can occur when a certain amount of protein is stored in the body. Choosing the right menu, you can mitigate and even completely prevent the harmful effects of allergens. For example, people suffering from pollen of flowers and trees, categorically can not include in their diet most of the stone fruit and berries. They will need to exclude nuts, celery, dill and carrots from their lives. Those who suffer from allergies to cereals or meadow grasses, it is strongly recommended to limit the consumption of bread and various bakery products. Under the ban also fall bread kvass, pasta, semolina, bread crumbs, ice cream, halva, all legumes, sorrel. When allergic to composite plants (for example, on wormwood or ambrosia), it will be necessary to exclude melons, watermelon, greens and spices from everyday diets. It is also very cautious to treat sunflower oil and derivatives. Under a huge ban, mayonnaise, mustard, halva. In case of an allergy to swans, it is strictly forbidden to eat spinach and beets, peaches and pears, exotic fruits, honey and some kinds of seasonings. By the way, alcohol can also provoke the emergence of a serious allergy. The reason lies in the composition of the drink that you drink. Wine, cognac, low-alcohol drinks contain so many dyes, flavors, stabilizers and other additives that even the strongest organism does not always withstand such loads. Therefore, completely eliminate all alcoholic beverages, especially vermouth and absinthe. Or choose expensive products, in which quality you are 100% sure. Following such simple restrictions in food, you can easily endure an exacerbation and avoid the occurrence of a relapse in the future. But even after you identify the reason, do not go back to your old life. It is not known how your body will react to other allergens.
