What foods are good for children with skin allergies?

When a child is experiencing a skin allergy attack, the safest option is to eat home-cooked food that you are sure he has eaten for more than three months without any allergic reactions such as rashes, vomiting, or itching. Don’t mess with novel food, highly processed snacks, and cold and cold products. There is no need to search for so-called “anti-allergy food” supplements.

Last week, I met a mother who was taking her baby for a follow-up visit at the community childcare center. The baby's hives had all gone away the day before. She posted a short video saying that kiwi fruit supplements with vitamin C can fight allergies, so she specially selected the most expensive imported kiwi fruit for her baby to eat. As a result, her back was covered with red rashes that night.

Speaking of which, some parents must ask, are the claims on the Internet that foods containing vitamin C and Omega 3 anti-allergic are completely nonsense? Not really. Current academic studies have confirmed that sufficient amounts of vitamin C and unsaturated fatty acids can help reduce blood vessel permeability and reduce the symptoms of redness, swelling and itching caused by allergies. However, this must be based on the premise that the food you choose is itself on the child's tolerance list. If the child is allergic to ingredients such as citrus and deep-sea fish, the more you supplement, the more severe the symptoms will be. This is the core reason why many clinicians do not recommend adding such ingredients during the allergy period. Don't be afraid of just in case, but it will slow down the recovery.

After the allergy symptoms have completely disappeared for more than a week, if you want to adjust your baby's diet to reduce the probability of subsequent allergies, you don't need to buy those hotly-hyped anti-allergenic food supplements and probiotic snacks. Instead, try slowly from hypoallergenic ingredients, adding only one new one at a time. If you eat it for 3 days without any abnormalities, then switch to the next one. This is more reliable than any other folk remedies.

In fact, choosing food for a child with allergies is like touching an old switch that has been installed in your home for several years. Just press whichever switch you know won’t trip. Don’t blindly try a new switch that you haven’t touched before. Otherwise, if the whole house trips, you will have to spend more time cleaning it up, which is not worth the gain. By the way, if you have checked out allergens with your child, as long as you completely avoid the foods on the allergen list, you can basically eat the ingredients you usually eat normally. Don’t over-restrict food and cause your child to fail to keep up with nutrition, which will make it more troublesome.
