What foods can you eat if you have skin allergies?

As long as you are not allergic to foods, most of them can be eaten normally. If you are unsure, just choose foods that you usually eat, are low in histamine, and have anti-inflammatory properties. There is no need to blindly avoid large-scale foods.

Not long ago, I met a girl who was in college. Chun Min had an attack and her face was so swollen that she couldn't even open her eyes. I searched a bunch of lists of allergy taboos on the Internet and stopped all milk, eggs, seafood, beef, mutton, and even mango and pineapple. I only dared to drink white porridge and boiled cabbage every day. After half a month, my allergy didn't go away. Instead, I caught colds frequently because of insufficient nutrition. It took almost two months for the allergy to go away. Later, after checking the allergens, I found out that she was only allergic to cypress pollen in spring. There was nothing wrong with the food she usually ate. She suffered a lot for no reason.

Some people will definitely ask, what should I do if I don’t know what I’m allergic to before I’ve checked my allergens? It’s simple. Just choose foods that you have eaten for several years and have never made you feel uncomfortable, such as commonly eaten rice, common green leafy vegetables, fresh lean pork, and often drank room-temperature milk. There is no need to be burdened at all. On the contrary, do not suddenly try novel foods that you have never eaten before during the allergy period, such as never-touched tropical fruits, Internet celebrity niche game, etc., so as not to accidentally trigger new allergic reactions.

Nowadays, there is a lot of debate on the Internet about whether allergies should be avoided. In fact, there is no unified conclusion in the academic circles. The core still depends on individual differences. For example, everyone often talks about seafood. If you are not allergic to seafood, eat some steamed fresh fish during the allergy period. The supplemented Omega-3 can also help reduce the inflammatory reaction of the skin and heal faster. ； But if you are allergic to wheat, even bland white steamed buns are a legitimate allergen for you, and there is no one-size-fits-all taboo list.

If you are in the acute stage of allergies and your skin is extremely red and itchy, you can temporarily avoid foods with high histamine levels, such as leftovers that have been left for two or three days, bacon sausages that have been marinated for a long time, and fermented heavy cheeses. These foods have high histamine content, and even if they are not your allergens, they may aggravate the itching. It is like a small flame is already burning in the skin, so there is no need to pour some alcohol on it to make it worse.

I am also an old patient with dust mite allergy. I tried not to eat anything during the previous attacks. Later, I listened to the doctor's advice to eat normal food and pay attention to balanced nutrition. On the contrary, I got better much faster than before. To put it bluntly, the core of the diet during the allergy period is never not to eat nothing, but not to step on your own allergy minefields. With enough nutrition, your immunity will be stable, and the allergy will subside quickly.
