Allergy Diet - List of Hypoallergenic Foods

With an allergy in the body, a distortion of immune responses occurs, which causes it to produce antibodies to harmless substances from the external environment, including food. A diet for allergies helps to reduce the tension of immunity in the presence of violations of its work (autoimmune diseases, etc. ) or if it has not yet been 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.

Products prohibited for use with allergies

Hypoallergenic products

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

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

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

  • Semi-finished products, smoked products.They contain preservatives, food additives that cause both true and pseudo-allergic reactions. When smoked, a lot of carcinogens are formed.

  • Mushrooms.Rich in protein and difficult to ferment, contain chitin and glucans in the cell wall.

  • Legumes(peas, beans, peanuts, lentils) - are known as a rich source of vegetable proteins, which serve as allergens.

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

  • Eggs.They contain albumin protein and other nutrients necessary for the development of the bird embryo and can cause a reaction.

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

  • Cross allergy(vegetables and fruits). If the patient is allergic to pollen, then reactions occur to fruits and vegetables that have pollen similar in structure or that belong to the same genus (poplar, willow, apples). 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.

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

Pseudallergic 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 eaten. Such reactions appear on fruits and vegetables that are bright red, sometimes orange (tomato, pomegranate, citrus fruits, strawberries).

In breastfeeding mothers

A hypoallergenic diet for a nursing mother avoids reactions to foods in a newborn and reduces gas formation in a baby. Strictdietary restrictions are important in the first 3 months of a baby's life, because:

  • The nervous 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; the motility of the gastrointestinal tract and the production of gastrointestinal hormones are launched, the active production of bile and pancreatic, duodenal, gastric juices;

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

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

When compiling the diet of lactating women, it is important that it has sufficient calories. Daily energy consumption due to lactation increases by 500 kcal.

Due to the increasing adaptive capabilities of the child's body, the diet for hepatitis B should be as strict as possible in the first 1-2 weeks of the child's life, with a gradual relaxation of food restrictions and the introduction of a small amount of new products.

  • fatty meat, strong broths, lard;

  • legumes;

After 6 months, complementary foods are introduced to children, so you can not adhere to dietary restrictions (except for the above hyperallergens).

Complementary foods start with cereals (buckwheat, rice, wheat), giving 1 teaspoon as the first serving. Porridges are boiled in breast milk and water, without adding fats and spices. For the first feeding, it is allowed to give home-made fermented milk drinks from low-fat (2. 5%) milk: kefir, yogurt without additives and sugar. The child is given only fresh food (1-2 days after preparation).

They begin to introduce complementary foods at lunchtime (12. 00), breastfeed the baby. For a week, the child should adapt to a serving of food that replaces complementary foods. After that, the previously introduced product is given in the morning (8. 00-9. 00), and new products are introduced for lunch.
