A condition in which there is an increase in the body's sensitivity to the effects of various irritants (antigens) is called allergy. The action of allergic factors triggers a specific response in the body - an immune one.
This is a whole complex of reactions in which all organs and systems of the body are involved - IgE immunoglobulins are produced, sometimes the presence of IgG, T-lymphocytes, histamine, serotonin is observed.
Various factors can act as an allergic agent - infectious, physical, medicinal, food, occupational. Their exposure causes the phenomenon of sensitization - the period from the first contact with the allergen to the response production of antibodies.
Allergy therapy consists of eliminating allergic agents that cause sensitization of the body and a secondary immune reaction, which is why there is a constant accumulation of IgE.
In particular, if it is definitely established that the cause of the patient’s allergy is food, he will be prescribed a hypoallergenic diet, the menu of which excludes the consumption of foods containing the antigen. This article will tell you what products it includes and at what age it is prescribed.
In this case, the word “diet” does not imply weight correction, although its regimen presupposes proper consumption of food - in small portions, several times a day; avoiding overeating.
The duration of the period for which a hypoallergenic diet is prescribed depends on the degree of sensitivity and sensitization of the body - in especially severe cases, patients are recommended to adhere to such a diet on an ongoing basis, since allergies are characterized by a cyclical course - periods of recovery are replaced by periods of exacerbations.
The entire period of therapy using an allergen-free diet lasts from 2 to 3 weeks. Again, this depends on the case - breastfeeding mothers are forced to follow a hypoallergenic diet throughout the breastfeeding period so as not to sensitize the newborn.
Indications for switching from a common table to a hypoallergenic diet are:
- Bronchial asthma;
- Conjunctivitis of allergic origin;
- Dermatitis of allergic origin;
- Pollen allergy;
- Bronchitis of allergic origin;
- Secondary immune reactions - urticaria, Quincke's edema;
- Breast-feeding.
What you can eat if you have an allergy is decided by your doctor. In a hospital setting, patients are transferred to a special table - No. 5. If treatment takes place at home, the doctor gives recommendations on an anti-allergic diet. There are general rules for eating, the observance of which will help to relieve an allergic reaction faster and more effectively:
- Frequent meals, in small portions - 5-6 times a day, 200-300 g;
- Avoid overeating;
- Minimize emotional tension and stress - these conditions can increase the symptoms of an allergic reaction;
- The preferred culinary treatment for dishes on a hypoallergenic diet is steam. Such food will not only reduce the risk of exacerbation of allergies, but is also generally more beneficial for the body. It is acceptable to eat baked foods;
- Exclude pickled and canned foods, as well as fried, smoked and highly salted foods from the diet;
- Each product should be consumed in doses - even if it is not on the list of allergen-containing products, you should not consume it in large quantities;
- It is permissible to consume products of the second category of allergenicity once every 3-4 days - the level of its sensitization will become clear based on the body’s reaction;
- It is better to avoid simultaneous consumption of several products included in the list of the second category of allergenicity - if an immune response occurs, it will not be possible to determine exactly which product caused it;
- To prevent vitamin deficiency, you should diversify your diet. With a lack of certain vitamins and microelements, the body's barrier forces are reduced. It is more easily exposed to viruses and bacteria - this can cause an exacerbation of the allergic reaction;
- Do not drink or reduce alcohol consumption at the time of treatment;
- Dishes made from products that are safe for allergy sufferers are nutritious and tasty food.
List of prohibited products
More precisely, products of the first category of allergenicity, which are strictly prohibited for people with food allergies to consume - they can cause immediate reactions, such as Quincke's edema and urticaria. These conditions are dangerous due to their complications - for example, with acute angioedema, swelling of the larynx develops, it spasms and air does not enter the lungs in the proper volume. Such conditions require resuscitation measures in a hospital setting.
List of food products of the first (high) degree of allergenicity:

This list includes products that can be consumed if you have a food allergy. There are two such lists - the second (medium) and third (weak) categories of allergenicity.
Products belonging to the second category of allergenicity:
- Pork;
- Peas;
- Corn;
- Bananas;
- Buckwheat and rice;

Products of the second category of allergenicity are introduced into the diet of patients with food allergies with caution. As soon as the clinical manifestations subside, it is permissible for products with an average degree of allergenic activity to gradually appear on the menu.
They can be consumed no more often than once every 3 days and continue to be eaten only if no relapses of allergies have been observed.
Hypoallergenic diet for children
It can only be prescribed by a doctor - after certain tests and tests, the pediatrician will become aware of which foods the child is allergic to.
If samples and tests do not help identify the allergen, the doctor recommends that parents keep a food diary - each dish that the baby has consumed during the day is entered there.
Then parents should carefully monitor whether the child develops allergies after this or that product. If a reaction occurs, you should inform your doctor.
The hypoallergenic menu depends on the age of the child. If complementary feeding has not yet been introduced, the child remains breastfed - this is the ideal nutrition for full development and growth.
When breastfeeding, the mother needs to monitor her own diet, however, if there is no breast milk, the baby is supplemented with artificial formula.
If a child has an allergic reaction to whole cow's milk protein, mixtures based on goat's milk, amino acids, soy protein isolate, and hydrolyzed cow's milk proteins are prescribed.
Children with food allergies are introduced to complementary foods from 4 months of age. It is better if cauliflower, zucchini or broccoli puree is used as complementary food. At first they offer a few teaspoons, but over time the complementary foods are brought to the full volume - 100-120 g.
An allergen-free diet includes foods that provide the child with adequate nutrition. It includes cereals, meat, vegetables and dairy products. Among vegetables, you should give preference to cabbage, potatoes and broccoli, cucumbers, lettuce, and herbs.
Among meat products, a child with food allergies can be offered turkey, lean beef and rabbit. Porridge for children with allergies is prepared without milk; it is not recommended to add sugar.
It is important that the child receives the necessary vitamins - with fresh fruits and berries - blueberries and blueberries, peaches, green apples and pears, plums and currants. As for bakery products, the menu should include rye bread, croquette cookies and crackers.
Nutrition for a nursing mother
The diet of mothers breastfeeding newborns is similar to the diet for allergies. However, a strict hypoallergenic diet is necessarily prescribed to mothers who have a history of food allergies.
All products that the mother consumes are absorbed into the milk and enter directly into the child’s body. It is clear that these may include allergens, which will cause a corresponding reaction in the child - an immune response.
Food allergies in newborns are much more severe than in adults. This is due to the imperfection of the digestive system (the number of lactobacilli is reduced).
At the slightest suspicion of a food allergy in a child, the mother should stop taking the product, which, in her opinion, could provoke sensitization of the newborn.
The hypoallergenic diet menu for a nursing mother excludes the intake of obligate allergens - citrus fruits, chocolate, honey, seafood, caviar, red vegetables, fruits and berries.
Diet Ado
It was developed by immunologist A.D. Ado. The purpose of this diet is to eliminate the consumption of allergens to reduce sensitization of the body.
Recipes
The anti-allergenic diet includes simple recipes for dishes made from available products. Examples:
- For the first step, you can prepare turkey puree soup - boil 200 g of turkey in water for half an hour, drain the first broth, add zucchini and cauliflower to the pan. Leave on fire for another 40 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan, chop the vegetables using a blender, combine with the chopped meat. Before serving, add herbs and sour cream to plates.
- For the second course, a chicken breast baked in foil with vegetables is suitable. To do this, make cuts on the breast, moderately salt and pepper it, drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil. Bake at 200 degrees for about 40 minutes. Serve with boiled Brussels sprouts, green peas and asparagus.
Highly allergenic foods
An allergy is an increased sensitivity of the human body to substances called allergens. It manifests itself in the form of unusual reactions that occur upon contact with these substances. For all types of allergic reactions, the use of a hypoallergenic diet is recommended.
However, it is most important to observe it in case of food allergies, especially since by excluding certain foods from the diet, you can most accurately identify the very cause of the allergy. Hypoallergenic diet will help you normalize the body's activity in a relatively short time.
A person prone to allergies first needs to switch to a non-specific hypoallergenic diet, and this is not to think about how to lose weight without dieting.
According to its principles, all products are divided into 3 groups:
1. Highly allergenic foods, namely those from the use of which allergic reactions most often occur:
Red and black caviar, many types of fish and seafood;
Milk (cow), cheeses and whole milk products;
Canned and pickled foods, especially industrial products;
Hot, spicy and salty foods, spices, seasonings and sauces;
Certain types of vegetables. For example: sauerkraut, red bell pepper, tomatoes, pumpkin, eggplant, beets, carrots, sorrel and celery;
Many berries and fruits, especially orange or red. For example: raspberries and strawberries, wild strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, sea buckthorn, grapes, pomegranates, persimmons, cherries, red apples, plums, melon and pineapples
Carbonated waters (especially sweet ones),
Yogurts with fillings and chewing gums;
Some dried fruits: dried apricots, raisins, dates and figs;

Products containing dyes, food additives: emulsifiers, flavorings and preservatives;
Products of exotic origin (turtle meat, mangoes, avocados, pineapples, etc.).
2. Moderately allergenic food products:
Some cereals, mainly wheat, sometimes rye;
Buckwheat and corn;
Pork (especially fatty ones), lamb, horse meat, rabbit and turkey meat;
Berries and fruits: apricots, peaches, black and red currants, cranberries, lingonberries, bananas and watermelons;
Some types of vegetables: green bell peppers, potatoes, peas and all legumes;
3. Low-allergenic foods:
Fermented milk products such as fermented baked milk, kefir, plain yoghurts and cottage cheese;
Lean pork, beef, stewed or boiled, as well as chicken;
Certain types of fish (sea bass, cod, etc.);
By-products: tongue, kidneys and liver;
Crisps, mainly buckwheat, rice and corn;
Greens and vegetables: spinach, green salad, parsley, dill, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cucumbers, zucchini, turnips, squash and rutabaga;
Pearl barley, oatmeal, semolina and rice cereals;
Olive and sunflower oil;
Pears, green apples, gooseberries, white cherries and white currants;
Some dried fruits: dried pears and apples, prunes;
Compotes from pears or apples, rosehip decoction;
Weakly brewed tea;
Still mineral water.
You must first remove from your diet foods that are listed as highly allergenic. In addition, you need to completely eliminate or significantly limit the consumption of moderately allergic foods.
Due to the fact that each person is characterized by intolerance to certain food allergens, when choosing a diet for allergies, it is necessary first of all to take into account the individual characteristics of each person. Therefore, you need to choose the diet that is right for you under the supervision of a doctor.
If you have a food allergy, following a nonspecific hypoallergenic diet for adults should last 2-3 weeks, and for young children, 7-10 days is most often sufficient. In the event that improvement occurs within a given period of time, the foods excluded from the diet can be eaten again, but one at a time and in small quantities.
The interval between eating these products should be at least 3 days. At the same time, you must carefully monitor whether signs of allergy appear again; if it makes itself felt, it means that this particular product is the cause of your illness.
When following a hypoallergenic diet, be sure to adhere to the following rules:
Diversify your diet while adhering to the restrictions prescribed by the diet.
Try to consume each of the products on the list of possible allergens no more than once every 3 days. This must be done because allergic reactions often occur when a certain amount of allergen accumulates in the human body.

By-products: liver, kidneys;
Vegetables and greens: cabbage, cucumbers, lettuce, parsley, spinach, zucchini;
Highly allergenic foods
Food allergies are a problem that occurs quite often, so people who experience them should eat only hypoallergenic foods.
Allergenic and hypoallergenic products ^
In fact, all food products are divided into three types:
Allergy can occur to any of them, but the third group has the lowest risk of developing it.
Causes of food allergies
The occurrence of food allergies can be due to many reasons:
- Use of antibiotics by a nursing mother before stopping breastfeeding: the baby’s immune system is formed in the first years of life, and antibiotics are known to reduce its protective functions, as a result of which in the future he may develop allergies to certain foods;
- The influence of chemicals: they not only negatively affect the immune system, but also negatively affect the functioning of the endocrine and nervous systems;
- Passion for food saturated with chemical additives: it’s no secret that now almost any product contains dyes, emulsifiers and preservatives that negatively affect the immune system;
- Heredity: Research shows that various forms of allergies can be passed on from generation to generation.
Symptoms of food allergies are as follows:
- The nasal mucosa swells, a runny nose appears;
- The eyes are affected by conjunctivitis;
- Hearing decreases, ear congestion is felt;
- Blisters or rashes appear on the skin;
- Concerns about flatulence, diarrhea or abdominal cramps.
To reduce the likelihood of such symptoms, it is recommended to consume hypoallergenic products, because. they contain virtually no substances that can cause allergies.
List of allergenic products
All of them must be excluded from the diet, giving preference to the most hypoallergenic products: kefir, cottage cheese, fermented baked milk, chicken, beef, cereals, green apples, pears, gooseberries or white cherries.
Allergenic products: table according to the degree of hypoallergenicity

Hypoallergenic food for children
When compiling a menu of hypoallergenic products for a child, it is worth including the following:
The most hypoallergenic dairy products are: cottage cheese, whey, fermented baked milk, bifidok, kefir, and natural yoghurts. If you are allergic to milk protein, they can be easily replaced with meat or fish: these products contain this element in large quantities.
Hypoallergenic whey products
Whey can be consumed in its pure form, or you can prepare delicious cocktails based on it:
- Mix whey, cottage cheese and chopped banana pulp;
- Beat everything with a blender.
In addition to banana, you can add other fruits or berries that are included in the list of hypoallergenic: they will give the drink a special taste and provide many beneficial properties.
Hypoallergenic goat milk products
Goat milk does not contain alpha-coseine, which is why it is considered a hypoallergenic product for children and adults.
You can use it to prepare various drinks and dishes, but with one condition: they must contain only those ingredients that cannot cause allergies.
Hypoallergenic products for adults
The nutrition of adults is practically no different from that of children, but in this case you can supplement the list with other hypoallergenic food products:

- Spinach, parsley, dill, cabbage, cucumbers, turnips, zucchini;
- Oatmeal, pearl barley, rice and semolina;
- Dried pears, apples and prunes;
- Pear, apple compote;

It is worth noting that even those products that are included in the hypoallergenic group can cause allergies, but the likelihood of this is extremely low. In order to prevent the occurrence of allergic reactions, it is recommended to do the following:
- Remove allergenic foods from your diet;
- When introducing hypoallergenic products, monitor your body’s reaction: if negative changes appear, you need to remove them from the menu;
- Try new dishes with caution and in small portions: there is a high probability that it contains ingredients that can trigger a food allergy;
- Those who are allergic to milk protein or lactose intolerant should forget about cottage cheese, kefir, milk and fermented baked milk forever, because... it is very difficult to adjust;
- Be sure to remove fast food, smoked meats, spices, sauces and herbs from your menu: in most cases they are the causative agents of allergies.

Don't overeat;
Diversify your diet while adhering to the restrictions prescribed by the diet.
Try to consume each of the products on the list of possible allergens no more than once every 3 days. This must be done because allergic reactions often occur when a certain amount of allergen accumulates in the human body.
It is the scourge of our time and represents an atypical, peculiar reaction of the body to certain substances - allergens. They enter the body through inhalation, food, or contact with the skin. Anyone can suffer from allergies: both adults and children, both men and women.
An effective measure to prevent allergic reactions is to follow a hypoallergenic diet.
This diet can also be prescribed to nursing mothers in order to improve the quality of breast milk.
General principles of a hypoallergenic diet
The goal of a hypoallergenic diet is to exclude foods that have highly allergenic properties from the diet.
It is known that if there are any diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, then not all substances are digested and absorbed in the required form in the body, which is a direct path to allergies.
A hypoallergenic table is not only a therapeutic measure, it helps to diagnose foods to which a given person has allergic reactions.
In its composition, such a diet should be chemically gentle for the digestive organs and physiologically complete for the body, that is, contain the required amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and vitamins. In addition, she limits salt intake to 7 grams per day.
Chemical and energetic composition of a hypoallergenic diet:
- proteins – 90g, including animals;
- fats – 80g including animals;
- carbohydrates - 400g;
- energy value - 2800 kilocalories.
Basic rules of nutrition for allergies:
Diet.
Preference is given to fractional meals, 5-6 times a day. Firstly, such a regimen eliminates overeating, which increases the load on the digestive tract, increases the risk of the inability to break down many nutrients into the necessary ones, and, consequently, increases allergies.
Secondly, split meals help allergy sufferers regain a healthy appetite, because for many it disappears due to fear of allergic reactions.
Culinary processing.
It is advisable to serve food boiled or steamed. Frying, baking and other types of cooking increase the content of allergens in foods. When preparing chicken, fish and meat broths, you need to change the water three times.
Drinking fluids.
After eating, 1-2 hours later you need to drink more fluid (about 2.5-3 liters per day), which ensures the removal of allergens and toxins from the body.
Alcohol.
It is clear that drinking alcoholic beverages is not part of a hypoallergenic diet, since it is often prescribed to children and nursing women. But even in other cases, you should avoid drinking alcohol, especially wine, port and beer, as they contain many allergens.
Alcoholic drinks themselves slow down the digestion and absorption of food, and this is a direct path to worsening allergies.
Temperature regime.
The optimal food temperature should be 15-60°C (not too hot or cold). Failure to comply with the temperature regime is irritating to the digestive tract and stimulating to the nervous system, and any deviations from the norm give a “green light” for the activation of allergies.
Duration of dieting.
It is advisable for adults to follow a hypoallergenic diet for 2-3 weeks, and for children 7-10 days are enough. At the same time, the introduction of “dangerous” food into the menu should occur no more than once every three days, each product is introduced one at a time, which makes it possible to identify the presence of an allergic reaction to it.
Keeping a diary.
Keeping a food diary will facilitate the task of both the doctor, which is to identify the allergen, and the patient, who will be able to independently determine intolerance to a particular product.
Eating fresh or processed vegetables and fruits.
Vegetables and fruits contain many vitamins. In addition, the high fiber content in food helps remove allergens from the body.
Composition of dishes.
When preparing, you must follow simple recipes with a minimum of ingredients. Complex dishes make it difficult to identify the allergen.
Varied food.
A monotonous diet contributes to the accumulation of allergens in the body, so food should be new every day, from other products.
Allergy products
The main prohibited products in a hypoallergenic diet are animal proteins (milk, meat, fish, poultry); it is necessary to limit their consumption or abandon them for some time. This is especially true for fatty meats and milk or milk-containing products.
You should also avoid fried, salted and smoked foods, as they contain large amounts of salt, which enhances the effect of allergens. Store-bought semi-finished products, pickles and smoked meats, cakes and other products are replete with preservatives and dyes, which increase the manifestation of allergic reactions. You should avoid sour and spicy foods: they irritate the stomach, disrupt digestion and worsen allergies.
In addition, red vegetables and fruits are natural allergens, and mushrooms are difficult to digest, which slows down digestion and causes the absorption of allergic substances.
The list of prohibited products includes:
- any fish roe, seafood, fatty fish;
- milk, full-fat cottage cheese, flavored yoghurts;
- eggs, especially yolks;
- cheeses;
- smoked meats, sausages;
- pickled and canned foods, especially those made in industrial conditions;
- seasonings (pepper, mustard, horseradish, vinegar), sauces, ketchup;
- vegetables in red and orange shades (tomatoes, beets, carrots, red bell peppers, radishes);
- fruits of the same colors (raspberries, strawberries, red apples, melon, persimmons, pomegranates);
- citrus;
- dried fruits (dried apricots, raisins, dates);
- mushrooms;
- caramel, chocolate, marmalade;
- coffee, cocoa, carbonated sweet drinks;
- honey, nuts;
- sauerkraut;
- celery, sorrel.
Authorized Products
The list of permitted products includes those that practically do not contain allergens, do not disturb digestion and do not promote increased absorption of allergic substances.
To combat allergies, it is important to increase the content of fiber and foods with a high starch content in the diet, which are digested in a neutral environment and do not irritate the stomach.
Since a hypoallergenic diet is aimed at sparing the digestive system, it is necessary to boil or steam all the ingredients, this promotes the absorption of nutrients and does not strain the gastrointestinal tract:
- fermented milk products (ryazhenka, kefir, yoghurts without fruit and with a limited shelf life, low-fat cottage cheese);
- lean beef, pork, chicken;
- low-fat fish (cod, sea bass, pollock);
- offal (liver, tongue, kidneys);
- bread made from rice, buckwheat, corn;
- vegetables (white cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli, green salad, dill, spinach, parsnips, parsley, zucchini, turnips);
- porridge made from oatmeal, rice, barley and semolina;
- vegetable oils, butter;
- green fruits (apples, white currants, gooseberries, white cherries, pears);
- dried fruits (dried apples, prunes);
- compotes and fruit drinks from apples and pears, weakly brewed tea, rose hip tea;
- mineral still water;
- dry biscuits, unhealthy bread.
The need to follow a diet for allergies
First of all, a hypoallergenic diet is designed to reduce the intake of substances into the body to which there is increased sensitivity (sensitization). Secondly, it allows you to identify allergens and limit their entry into the digestive tract in the future.
In addition, a hypoallergenic table practically eliminates the manifestations of allergies, which reduces the need to use medications.
A balanced, rational and healthy diet normalizes the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, increases overall tone, saturates the body with vitamins and removes not only allergens, but also harmful decay products.
Consequences of not following the diet
Allergies are dangerous due to their clinical manifestations. And if allergic rhinitis and urticaria are the most harmless types of allergies, then such severe complications as Quincke's edema and anaphylactic shock threaten a person with death.
People prone to allergic reactions are increasingly noticing that redness or other changes in the skin occur after eating. Food allergies are no less common than seasonal allergies.
That is why there is a hypoallergenic diet, which consists of safe and healthy foods necessary for every body, both during an exacerbation and in a calm life.
Hypoallergenic nutrition is something that every second person who has a tendency to allergic manifestations needs. It is aimed at relieving allergy attacks and also prevents the appearance of irritating factors that provoke this condition.

The menu is characterized by a wide variety of tasty and healthy products that can be easily prepared. The diet is selected individually for each person, taking into account his characteristics and the presence of certain concomitant diseases. It also contains a list of permitted and prohibited products that will directly affect the final result of nutritional therapy.
Grocery list
Before giving preference to certain products, you should carefully study the lists of permitted and strictly prohibited products. If a healthy person can include citrus fruits or canned foods in their diet every day, this does not mean that they will have a positive effect on an allergy sufferer.
