Foods in Allergies

1- Mouth

2- Esophagus and stomach

3- Intestines

4- Lung (asthma especially in childhood)

5- Nasal and sinus allergies

6- Ear (especially in infants under 1 year old)

7- Skin

Another important cause of allergies is the use of today’s processed foods, which are full of numerous chemical additives, and many of these additives cause strong reactions. The state of allergy may be the result of an imbalance in the diet. It is possible that the body’s ability to deal with sugar has been lost due to excessive intake of refined sugar and irregularity in blood sugar levels or imbalance of vitamins and minerals due to the pattern of using an incomplete diet. 

There are two methods to detect the disturbing foods. The first method is based on trial and error. This method automatically eliminates many hazards and foods. As much as possible, organic and unprocessed foods should be used, and in this way, another set of dangers such as insecticides, various sprays and other poisons is excluded.

After eliminating as many confounding factors as possible, the search must begin with oneself to be sure of the appearance of any suspicious symptoms caused by food.

In this context, it is better to use an elimination diet and avoid suspicious foods for two weeks to determine the cause.

Sometimes, by changing the brand or type, you can find a substitute food that does not cause discomfort.

We determine this diagnosis when the patient is only allergic to foods and by consuming certain foods at each stage, the person becomes allergic.

In the mouth, it can be a pest, in the tongue it can cause geographic tongue (if the geographic tongue is caused by allergies, it is a food allergy), in the flower, itching, inflammation of the throat and hoarseness, secretions from the back of the pharynx, in the stomach, it can be as intolerance to food or causing self-vomiting. show GI upset – in the case of stomach ulcers and allergies, it is one of the causes at the end of the list. In the intestines, frequent diarrhea, especially in infants, and even constipation can be symptoms of food allergy.

Special explanation:

For all digestive symptoms, we should first think about non-allergic causes and then think about the cause of allergies, and even if no cause is found for digestive problems, we can consider it as an allergy.

1- Every food is not a single allergen and there are many allergens in one food.

2- common allergens between foods are seen a lot.

3- Food allergy can cause various symptoms in the body.

4- It can affect any part of the body.

5- Unlike inhalation allergy, food allergy is not an attack form.

6- The course of food allergy is complex, variable and conflicting.

7- Until today, the test screen has not been found. There are no definitive diagnostic tests. Currently, DBCT is the gold standard double-blind challenge test.

8- You should wait at least one week to check a food.

9- The hardest diet, caveman diet should be recommended. The cavemen’s diet of raw materials and sometimes heating it is mentioned.

The basis of the eating habits of every family is the same, even if the foods consumed are apparently different.

Don’t eat whatever they like or eat whatever they don’t like.

Special diet to eliminate parasitic fungi

Avoid the following substances:

 Beer and wine

 Breads that contain a lot of sourdough (such as sourdough breads, wholemeal black barley bread, and some cakes)

 Buttermilk, sour cream taste

 canned fruit juice and canned tomatoes; Other canned goods, unless they are used immediately after opening

 Any type of cheese

 apple wine

 Dried fruits (such as apricots, raisins, plums, dates and figs)

Stale foods, especially fish and meat that have been left for more than a day.

Types of mushrooms

Cooked cabbage

Smoked fish and canned meat (including sausages, sausages, grilled meat and other ready-to-eat foods)

Vinegar and foods that contain vinegar (such as tomato sauce, condiments, green olives, pickles and mayonnaise)

Asthma symptoms appear to be more pronounced after eating Chinese foods that contain monosodium glutamate.

Usually, restaurants add sulfite-containing ingredients to lettuce to prevent it from discoloring and flaking. Most restaurants also use sulfite to preserve the whiteness of potatoes.

Also, sulfite substances are used in most wines and beers, some juices, dried fruits, some breads, cakes, and foods.

If you are allergic to sulfites, keep in mind that these substances may be present in heart medications, antibiotics, IV solutions, steroids such as pain relievers (dexamethasone), and some sedatives.

Lettuce and some raw vegetables used in restaurants

Beer, wine, some juices

Sauces and creams, especially those containing ocado (a mango-like fruit).

Seafood (especially shrimp)

A variety of packaged foods (read labels carefully)

The most common foods that asthma sufferers should avoid are:

• Sulfate (it is a preservative that is used in dried fruits, pickles and salt, lemon juice, etc.)
• Foods that cause gas and therefore pressure on the diaphragm, such as some beans, cabbage, etc.
• Artificial flavors and other preservatives
• Processed foods, fried foods
• Some spices, salt and fats and oily foods
• Eggs, fish, milk and yogurt
• Nuts, fish, wheat and…
• Fruits such as watermelon, cucumber, tangerine and orange
• Almonds and peanuts
• Canned food and compote

Anti-asthma drugs : Isoperl, Broncosol, Alopent, multi-use Metaprol solution, for use in a spray (but single-use Alopent does not contain sulfites)

If the implementation of a diet is necessary, the lack of the forbidden food must be compensated in some way.

Careful reading of food labels is usually helpful in detecting sulfite use.

Another way to diagnose the cause of allergy is Dr. Coca’s “pulse test”. This method is done like this. Before eating the meal, the number of pulses per minute is counted. Then a meal is used which has only one type of food. Half an hour after eating this food, the pulse is taken again and its number is counted. A slight increase in pulse rate after eating, even up to 16 extra beats, is considered normal.

If the pulse number does not exceed 84, there is no allergy. But if the number of pulses exceeds a certain value and remains up to an hour after eating the meal, the person has a food allergy.

But, the best way to prevent allergies or control them is to strengthen the overall resistance of the body so that it does not fall into the trap of any allergy it is exposed to. 

At the beginning of this work, the patient should start the treatment with 4 or 5 days of fruit juice fasting, the repetition of fruit juice days will probably cause the previous allergies to be tolerated. After the juice fast, the patient must use one thing in his diet and only use vegetables or fruits such as carrots, grapes or apples for a week. After a week, another food is added to the meal. The following week, the third food is added to the food and the diet continues in this way. After the fourth week, protein foods can be introduced into the diet one at a time. In the event of an allergic reaction to a food that has just entered the diet, that food should be stopped and a new food should be tested. In this way, all real allergens can be removed from the diet.

The body needs a large alkaline reserve to carry out daily activities. Many cases with increasing daily acid formation such as using junk food, fatigue, mental stress and lack of sleep may affect the body’s alkaline reserve. Strengthening the body’s natural alkaline reserve with the free use of alkaline-producing foods is very important for people with allergies.

Foods that should be excluded from the diet are: tea, coffee, chocolate, soft drinks containing cola, alcohol, sugar, refined grains, meat, fish, chicken, milk, cheese, butter, smoked foods, soda salt, pickles and foods Containing any type of chemical additives, preservatives and flavorings, these foods either cause the accumulation of toxins, or overstimulate the adrenal glands, or put pressure on the production of pancreatic enzymes, or disrupt the blood sugar balance.

in order to prevent; All vitamin C complexes known as bioflavonoids are recommended. The use of these substances gradually strengthens cell permeability and helps protect the body against various allergies, especially hay fever. Adding B5 or pantothenic acid often provides good relief for allergy sufferers. Many allergies may be caused by poor adrenal gland function. In such cases, the use of a liberal amount of pantothenic acids helps the patient’s treatment, but it takes several weeks for complete recovery to occur. Using a sufficient amount of vitamin E is also beneficial because this vitamin, according to studies, has effective anti-allergic properties.

However, in other allergy diseases where foods worsen the individual’s symptoms due to cross-reaction, the diagnosis of specific food allergy is not relevant.
Most cases of involvement are in the mucous membrane (mouth area) and then the skin, and the involvement of the digestive system is the next priority and may also cause respiratory involvement.
The most common age when specific food allergy occurs is childhood, especially in the first year of life, allergy to cow’s milk is the most common.

1- The time of the attack and exacerbation of the disease: it is strongly recommended that abstinence be serious and complete

including your previous experience (even if doubtful or definite)

The previous experience of all humans, which are known as soda foods or natural foods, are mostly warm

Foods that have been positive in the skin test

Foods that cross-react with plant pollen

Do not eat foods that belong to the same family.

2- When they are in a healthy condition, the restriction becomes much less

Just don’t overdo it, or don’t consume food that was definitely problematic in the previous experience, or experience from now on that within a period of time, usually up to half an hour and up to two hours after eating a food, they will find the symptoms of allergy and it has happened again. May they make sure that they are allergic to that food and not consume it.

Foods that you are definitely allergic to (either through your previous experience or a positive skin test) should be avoided for 3 to 5 years, and during this period, you should not eat a single bit of it even for the test.

If someone we know is allergic to nuts or seafood, it is better not to eat them for the rest of his life. This means the same specific food. Peanut had a problem not to eat only the same food for the rest of his life

Over the centuries, humanity has realized that anyone who eats a melon should also feel the chills of it, and in the end, the warm or soda habit settled down, the most allergenic of which is the family of melons, eggplants, nuts, cocoa, bananas, grapes, etc. It should be mentioned that tomatoes, fish, and watermelon are known as cold in ancient medicine, but they are allergens, so the nature of food is different from humans, and today’s science does not see it this way.

Eggplant, tomato, potato, garlic, onion, tarragon, spinach and celery, peanuts, walnuts, seeds, pistachios, hazelnuts, soybeans and some legumes, shrimp, crabs, oysters, bananas, mangoes, pineapples and kiwis.
