Write to blacklist

Food allergies - one more "cross" of our time, acquired along with the dubious blessings of civilization. Previously, this attack occurs less frequently and was overcome largely incontinent for oranges and chocolate babies. Itchy rash on children's cheeks were called diathesis and safely disappeared, along with other Malyshkova problems. 

But nowadays the notorious bad ecology and an epidemic of poor health are allergic to anything and everything has become a serious problem, and children, and adults. From harmless pimples to death - this is the range of its effects in the different ages.
All of our lives, filled with household effects, chemical, industrial, medicinal allergens contributes to a state of perennial allergic "readiness" of the body. Including a food allergy. Especially the potentially dangerous is the time from May to October. Firstly, at this time all the riotous bloom. For food allergy may well join in and allergies to pollen, poplar fluff and other spring-summer joy. And then go and figure it out, which gave a reaction - sniffed with delight flower or eaten for breakfast omelet. And secondly, the abundance of the gifts of nature inflicts a powerful blow to the immune system, often evoking an allergy, even in places where it is he has never happened before. This is especially dangerous in our lane, where the longing for a long winter for residents willing to absorb vitamins fruits and vegetables literally kilograms and buckets.
Treatment of allergies and especially their diagnosis - it is very difficult. A food allergy in this sense - the simplest case. We are not always able to recognize the microscopic molecules of allergen in the air inhaled or fabric clothing. Since it is difficult to completely insulate themselves from contact with them. But to control what we eat, the easier. Therefore, food allergy - the only one of the most unfortunate family of diseases - can be cured by proper nutrition alone. Or so, at least, can be reduced to a safe minimum of its sad consequences.
Very easy to defeat the disease, if you know exactly what substance is causing your allergic reaction. His (and products containing it) is simply excluded from the diet. But the cunning of a food allergy that is not always possible to say what product it is called. The fact that the body's response to allergens is of two kinds: immediate and delayed.
Immediate manifested in the very first day, a few hours or even minutes after a meal begins intense itching, burning, fever, and other classic symptoms. In this case, simply define the allergen - that's down with this wonderful exotic fruit and every case. Delayed allergic reaction is less common and occurs in two or three or even five days after receiving the allergen. So identify the cause much more difficult. 


If you go to a specialist, you will make a series of tests that help physicians to narrow the first "black list" of possible culprits of your illness to a certain category (proteins, oils, etc.), and then determine a specific substance. However, for this you will probably be offered long-term (up to several months), inpatient stay in a special sterile hospital setting that very few people to taste and even affordable. In addition, not all cities have such sterile offices, ready to carefully study the whims of your body.
To determine the "culprit" independently and at home, without interrupting the normal flow of life, conduct an investigation personally. First, familiarize yourself with the bitter experience of your home: in fact allergic to a particular product, usually refers to the "family values". Here is a list of potentially dangerous products, seen by mankind in relation to allergy:
Propagation of strong allergens - proteins of fish and other seafood. Moreover, some people can not tolerate fish, in principle, others - only some of its species.
Sometimes there is an allergy to foods containing yeast: beer, bread and cheese.
High allergenicity also have tomatoes, strawberries, blackberries, currants, pomegranates, peaches, grapes, apricots, cantaloupe, bananas, pineapples, cauliflower, onions, garlic, mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, horseradish, pepper, cinnamon, semolina, chickpeas, beans, peas, radishes, squash, turnip, radish, honey, cocoa, coffee, mushrooms.
In addition, our diets a lot of foods rich in histamine in pure form. Unlike allergens, from which the body only by chemical releases it. This sauerkraut fermentation cheese, spinach, pork liver, dry sausage, and various nutritional supplements. Use of these products (who are more who are in a smaller dose) by itself causes the symptoms of allergies, even if your body is not inclined to "make a mountain out of a molehill."
But do not worry: your personal "prison" will be considerably more modest. Usually one person is the reaction of only one or two types of allergens from the most extensive list above. And those dishes that are seen by you in fraudulent effect on the body by making some features may be acceptable. For example, if a person is allergic to chicken eggs, the culprit - the egg white. Therefore, egg yolks, and even more chicken and the broth is well tolerated. But the favorite cream cake, whipped abundant proteins (which you certainly do not suspect), would cause a severe allergy.
Secondly, you have to show the wonders of insight to predict the presence of your allergen in a variety of products. Because even small presence of the allergen can poison good life. For example, a reaction to cow's milk protein can give even the bar of milk chocolate. Why, sometimes only one or even just smell the form of allergenic foods (especially fish or eggs) to cause a strong reaction. But, of course, is already out of the field of psychology. And other times with an allergist would be nice to visit and the therapist to convince your body to stop such violent reactions.
So, eliminate from your diet all the "suspect" foods for about a week. If after a week of "abstinence" allergic reaction stopped, it means that their perpetrator was in a group of excluded products. (Provided that you are at this time is not "jammed" his allergy medication.) Then type in the menu is one of the "suspects" products. If within 3-5 days of reaction does not occur, type the following product, and so on until one day after the introduction of another product you do not manifest allergy and you are confident at its source. So you have calculated the allergen. This, however, may take several weeks. But by calculating its "own" the allergen and remove it from your diet, you can decide for themselves the problem of food allergies forever.
PS: Good to know that during prolonged heat treatment of products (over 30 minutes - up to 120 degrees) or prolonged boiling allergenic factors significantly decreased or disappeared altogether.
