Hypoallergenic diet for children and adults-allowed and prohibited foods, menus

An urgent problem of modern people is allergies. This is a reaction of the body to the action of a special substance called an allergen. A person will encounter them when breathing, eating, or in contact with the skin. Allergies can affect men and women, children and adults. The main method of treatment and prevention is hypoallergenic diet. It is not only suitable for allergy sufferers, but also for breastfeeding mothers, who can use such a menu to improve the quality of breast milk.

What is a hypoallergenic diet

In medicine, allergy is a condition that increases sensitivity to external or internal stimuli. In this case, the human body regards harmless substances as antigens. Even if a person has very little contact with the allergen, a large amount of IgE can be produced. The formation mechanism of allergic reaction:

1. Immunoglobulin IgE is detected after the first contact with the allergen and binds to mast cells and basophils (cells of the immune system).
2. The result is complicated. It is composed of allergens, IgE and mast cells or basophils.
3. The complex of basophils and blood penetrates into different organs: skin, nose, lungs, stomach and mast cells, and it stays still.
4. After re-entering the body, basophils and mast cells secrete special substances-histamine and serotonin. They are necessary to fight irritants.

Histamine and serotonin cause allergic reactions: smooth muscle spasm and telangiectasia, which leads to blood thickening and edema. Since allergies are usually caused by food, in addition to antihistamines, diet must also be included in the treatment plan. It also plays an important role in allergic reactions to drugs (antibiotics, salicylates) used to feed birds and animals. The diet is based on the following principles:

• Exclude products containing crossover and causal allergens;
• Eat only fresh products;
• Rejection of histamine release agents-products that cause the gastrointestinal tract to secrete histamine from its cells: chocolate, milk, coffee, wheat bran, orange juice;
• Restrict animal protein diet;
• Exclude candied fruit and products containing dyes, preservatives and flavoring agents;
• Limit simple carbohydrates, salt, fried, spicy and salty foods, alcohol;
• Reject histamine carriers-foods with high histamine content in the composition (tomatoes, strawberries, hazelnuts, cocoa, spinach).

General principles

For allergy sufferers, there is a special diet-table 5 GA (hypoallergenic). It is based on the No. 5 diet therapy prescription for the treatment of biliary system and liver diseases. Adults should eat according to the principles in Table 5 for 3 weeks, children-10 days. This is enough to make allergic manifestations disappear permanently. In the future, the formulation of diet will consider the following principles:

• When symptoms begin to decrease, you can switch from anti-allergic foods to a less restrictive diet, and gradually increase your diet with foods with moderate allergic activity.
• First introduce the boiled low-fat white fish, bread, fresh onion, fruit puree, and candied fruit.
• During the entire diet, food is boiled or steamed. Frying and baking will increase the content of allergens.
• The nutrition of protein, fat and slow carbohydrates should be complete.
• The frequency of launching each new weight loss product does not exceed once every 3 days. If there is no negative reaction to it, you can leave it in the menu.
• The best nutritional choice is fractions, where the number of meals per day reaches 5-6 times.
• Products containing easily digestible carbohydrates are completely prohibited: candy, honey, jam, chocolate. You can use aspartame, saccharin or xylitol instead of sugar.
• If the cause of the allergy is not determined, all significant allergens that cause allergies must be excluded: strawberries, nuts, chocolate, honey, eggs, seafood, caviar, citrus fruits, melons, tomatoes.
• It is important to add calcium to the diet. Calcium has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. This trace element exists in cheese and fermented dairy products.
• All dishes containing allergen products are excluded from the diet menu. For example, if the reaction is manifested in eggs, then you need to give up cream, mayonnaise, casseroles, and rich flour products.

Indications

Dieting is not only effective for food allergies. Special diets help reduce the effects of allergens and other groups (medicinal, fungus, pollen, family). By dieting, a person can reduce the risk of increased clinical symptoms of the following diseases:

• Quincke edema;
• Allergic rhinitis;
• measles;
• Pathology of the digestive tract, in which the absorption process of nutrients is disrupted;
• Atopic dermatitis;
• Bronchial Asthma;
• pollen allergy.

Hypoallergenic food list

When preparing the first dish, it is recommended to use vegetable broth instead of frying. He must be very weak, that is, after boiling 1-2 times, drain the water. Allows the addition of various garden herbs. Among grains, it is useful to use oatmeal, buckwheat, and wheat. Potatoes can be used as a side dish in the form of mashed potatoes, but they can only be cooked in water. From fermented dairy products, you can use low-fat fresh cottage cheese and additive-free yogurt.

To enrich your body with fat, you need to add sunflower or olive oil to your diet. Pasta can only be made from durum wheat. Other hypoallergenic products:

Hypoallergenic diet menu

When eating a hypoallergenic diet, keeping a food diary can help relieve allergies. In it, you can record the foods or meals used for eating and the reactions to them. Therefore, allergens can be accurately identified and excluded from your menu. In addition, the diary makes it easier to track changes in your diet. This is important because scientists have found that using the same menu is more likely to develop allergies. In the diary, you can make a few options for the hypoallergenic diet menu, and then buy only the necessary ingredients.

For kids

The principle of making hypoallergenic menus for children is the same as that for adults. There is only one important difference-long-term adherence to such a diet, the risk of protein, carbohydrate and micronutrient deficiencies is high. This can cause delays in physical development. Table 5 is only used for the first 7-10 days of health status. The doctor then chooses a separate hypoallergenic product for the child. Menu options:

Diet menu options	breakfast	dinner	dinner
1	Sticky buckwheat porridge, cheese, apples, tea.	Potato soup with noodles, steamed pork steak with stewed vegetables, preserves.	Braised pork with stewed potatoes and tea.
2	Oatmeal in water, dry cookies.	Lean beef soup, corn salad, Chinese cabbage and cucumber salad without carrots.	Steamed beef dumplings with boiled cauliflower and candied fruit.
3	Buckwheat flakes with kefir.	Mashed potatoes in water, boiled cauliflower, lean veal, berry jelly.	Chicken stew with peas and vegetables.

For adults

If the child’s hypoallergenic diet lasts for 7-10 days, then adults can stick to it longer-up to 2-3 weeks. The menus in the two cases are almost the same because the structure uses the same anti-allergic product list. Dietary choices for adults on the day:

Menu option	breakfast	dinner	dinner
1	Buckwheat porridge, green tea with croutons, baked apples.	Steamed chicken steak, vegetable soup, rose hip soup.	Balsamic vinegar, tea and diet biscuits.
2	Couscous porridge, low-fat fresh cheese, apple juice and biscuits.	Meatloaf, cereal vegetable soup, biscuit tea.	Puree peas, meatballs.
3	Cheese casserole, kefir.	Veal slices, buckwheat porridge, vegetable soup.	Cabbage and zucchini soup, steamed meatloaf, rosehip broth.

Hypoallergenic diet

The basic principle of choosing a recipe is that ready-made meals should be good for the digestive tract. For this reason, salting, fermentation and fermentation are completely eliminated. Steaming or boiling is considered mild to the stomach. Such preparation methods help reduce the allergenic activity of the ingredients used. Fruits and vegetables are also best not to be eaten raw, but stewed or roasted.

First

Mainly soup is included in the first list of hypoallergenic dishes. Potatoes are often used in cooking. It is recommended to soak in cold water first. It takes several hours to reduce the starch content in vegetables. The soup should be second or third. This means that after boiling, drain the liquid 1-2 times. So the fat content of the finished soup will be much lower.

Wheat grits and vegetable soup

The specialty of this soup lies in a special ingredient-celery. Dishes containing it often appear in different diets, including hypoallergenic ones. Celery tastes like carrots and parsley. Its leaves have a spicy and fresh aroma. The benefits of celery are not only manifested in allergies, but also in weight loss. In the soup made according to this recipe, it is mixed with potatoes, cabbage and dill. Garlic adds a little spice to this dish.

raw material:

• Onions-0. 5-1 pcs;
• Chinese cabbage-100 grams;
• Chopped wheat groats (bulgur)-50 grams;
• Celery-1 small root;
• Water-1. 5-1. 6 liters;
• Potato tubers-3 pieces;
• Dill or other vegetables-1 piece;
• Garlic cloves-2 pcs.

Cooking methods:

1. Bring the water to a boil and soak the dry wheat in it.
2. Next, chop the peeled potatoes and add them to the broth.
3. Peel the onion, finely chop, and add the rest of the ingredients.
4. Wash the celery and dip it in the soup.
5. After boiling again, reduce the heat.
6. Simmer under the lid for 15-20 minutes.
7. Take out some potatoes, mash and return.
8. Wash the cabbage leaves, dry them, chop them, and put them in the almost finished soup.
9. Cook for another 10 minutes, then remove and discard the celery.
10. Chop the greens and garlic and use them to season the soup.

Potato soup with noodles

This dish requires minimal food. This soup is suitable for adults and children. The onions in the broth are hardly felt because they are boiled. Since the vegetables are placed at the beginning of cooking, the meat is very tasty. You can use lean beef instead of chicken, but this will make the soup fatter, and it will take 30-60 minutes longer to cook.

raw material:

• Small onion-1 piece;
• Vegetables-to suit your taste;
• Chicken fillet-800 grams;
• High-quality vermicelli-200 grams;
• Potato tubers-4-5 pieces;
• Water-4 liters.

Cooking methods:

1. Pour the washed meat with water and put the pot on the maximum heat.
2. Bring to a boil and drain the liquid.
3. Pour in the same amount of water again and boil again to remove foam.
4. At this time, peel the onion, chop it, and add it to the soup.
5. Reduce the heat and cook for 30-40 minutes until the meat is cooked, then take it out, cut into pieces and send it back.
6. Boil the vermicelli separately in brackish water. This is necessary to prevent the broth from becoming turbid due to sediment.
7. Peel, rinse and chop the potatoes. Dip the slices in the broth and cook for 5 minutes.
8. Then fill the soup with the cooked noodles.

second

The main course is also vegetables or meat. Cutlets, dumplings, meatballs and meatballs are mostly steamed. The meat can be mashed, beef stew, or even beef stew or soufflé. In the recipe for the last dish, minced meat is mixed with milk sauce, egg yolk and raw white. When you start to gradually introduce foods with moderate allergies, Souflei is already suitable for this stage. Vegetables can be used as a side dish of meat, but they can only be stewed, boiled or grilled, because frying can increase ingredient allergies.

Cabbage and Zucchini Soup

The advantage of the thick soup is the uniform and soft consistency, so this dish will not irritate the stomach and intestines. In such a recipe, not only meat, but also vegetables are used. An unusual combination-zucchini and broccoli. The first vegetable has a neutral taste and is therefore combined with many ingredients. In addition, they have no contraindications. It is not recommended to use cauliflower for gastrointestinal problems.

raw material:

• Zucchini-2-3 pieces;
• Onion-1 piece;
• Celery-5-7 stems;
• Parsley-1-2 sticks;

3. Place all the vegetables on the bottom of the pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer until the ingredients are soft.
4. Then cool, transfer to a mixing bowl, and stir until smooth.
5. Pour the clumps back into the pan, add the sour cream, and simmer for a few minutes over low heat.
6. When serving, sprinkle with chopped herbs.

Steamed dumplings

Knees are understood as a type of dumplings-small balls made from minced meat from fish, poultry or other meats. The difference between dumpling dumplings and meatloaf dumplings is that they are more fluffy and soft. Therefore, dumplings are more suitable for children and hypoallergenic diets. Another feature of this dish is steaming, so the meat retains more vitamins. In addition, steam quenching makes it easier for the stomach to digest.

raw material:

• Low-fat milk-2 tablespoons;
• Egg white-2 pcs;
• Beef jelly-800 grams;
• Wheat bread-1 slice.

Cooking methods:

1. Dip the bread in half of the milk and let it sit for half an hour.
2. At this time, use a meat grinder to chop the meat.
3. Squeeze the bread, add the minced meat, grind everything with a sieve.
4. The resulting materials are mixed thoroughly, and the egg whites are added.
5. Pour in the remaining milk.
6. Shape the minced meat into medium-sized balls and place them in a steaming dish. Cook for 15 minutes.

dessert

Although the hypoallergenic diet prohibits sweets, you can still enrich your menu with gourmet food. You just need to cook them properly. The best hypoallergenic desserts are based on fruit, kefir or cottage cheese. The main reason is that fermented dairy products are not sour. An ordinary pear, cut into pieces or mashed, will increase their sweetness. Cottage cheese is the best base for casseroles. It can also be prepared by adding permitted fruits. Baked apples are the latter’s popular dessert. They are even combined with cottage cheese-the result is delicious and healthy.

Cheese casserole

Since eggs belong to the product category with high allergic activity, it is not recommended to use them with a hypoallergenic diet, especially for children. The casserole can be prepared without these ingredients. Flour is also easy to replace with semolina, which will give the dish a dense consistency. In order to increase the sweetness, any hypoallergenic fruit can be added to the curd. Sugar should be added after the strict diet is over, ie. After 7-10 days.

raw material:

• Pears-3;
• Low-fat cheese-400 grams;

3. Wash the pears, peel and chop them.
4. Add fruit to the curd, stir, and transfer to a greased baking pan.
5. Put it into the oven and bake for half an hour. The best temperature is 180 degrees.

Baked apples

This is the most popular diet and also hypoallergenic dessert. Since fresh fruits are not recommended for allergy sufferers, they can be roasted. The result is not only delicious, but also good for the stomach. Apples are the perfect fruit for this dessert. They are not only baked in the oven, but also in the microwave, so delicious dishes can be made very quickly and easily. To make desserts more useful, you can add cottage cheese to the fruit. Don't just use recipes that have to add honey inside the apple.

raw material:

• Apples-3;
• Sour cream with low fat content-2 tablespoons. . ;
