Allergy is considered a disease of our time, which is expressed with increased sensitivity to certain substances, products, materials. The most common types of allergies are: pollen, dust, food, drugs, animal hair, insect bites.
There are two ways to alleviate the condition of the body, with the exacerbation of allergies: by taking medication or following a hypoallergenic diet. The diet will be equally effective, regardless of the type and severity of allergies, whether sudden or chronic, in the form of atopic dermatitis.

Recommendations for a hypoallergenic diet are just a small part of what you are allowed to do on your own.

As a snack, allowed to use cottage cheese, yogurt, fruit, vegetables and tea can be drunk with the addition of lemon.
If you endure this type of food for at least a week, then you will immediately feel a surge of extra strength. First, thanks to a healthy and balanced diet, the body will be able to cleanse itself of toxins and toxins. Second, by eliminating potential allergens from your diet as much as possible, it will be easier to monitor the dynamics of allergies and draw your own conclusions.
Adults can follow this diet for no more than three weeks and children for a maximum of 9 days. If at the end of the diet it is realized that the state of health has improved, then you should gradually add foods that were previously forbidden. This should be done at intervals of three days for each new product, as an allergic reaction may not occur immediately. This diet is also called non-specific.
If there is no improvement, it is necessary to gradually exclude moderate allergens and then low allergenic foods. You can limit the diet only under the supervision of a specialist. To more accurately identify allergies, doctors are advised to record your diet in a diary and how the body reacts to each product.
You should eat taking into account all the needs of the body for vitamins and minerals. You can not eat too much, because the extra food particles will not be digested, but will only poison the body.
Protein-rich foods should be combined with vegetables, so the fiber they contain will prevent allergens from entering the bloodstream.
This type of diet food is suitable for all adults, children and even breastfeeding mothers.
