What foods can you eat if you have facial allergies?

During a facial allergy attack, you don’t need to overeat. Just choose hypoallergenic, low-histamine foods that you usually eat and don’t feel any discomfort after eating. Foods you are used to eating, such as home-cooked stir-fried green leafy vegetables, steamed pumpkins, boiled apples, lean pork, brown rice, and ordinary freshwater fish, will basically not aggravate allergy symptoms.

Last week, a sophomore girl came to me and said that her face was itchy due to catkins allergy for a week, so she dared to drink white porridge, and her face turned sallow. When I asked her about her usual steamed seabass and stir-fried lettuce, she had no reaction. After going back and eating normally for two days, and applying the ointment prescribed by the doctor, she recovered much faster than just drinking white porridge.

The relevant opinions on the Internet are very confusing now. Some people say that people with allergies must not touch seafood and tropical fruits, while others say that they must be vegetarians. In fact, it is really not that absolute. Among the users I have interacted with, most people who are allergic to pollen have no problem eating shrimp. However, there is a girl who is not allergic to mangoes, but her usual redness suddenly worsened when she ate the lettuce she usually eats. Later, I found out that she was allergic to the residual pollen on the lettuce, and it had nothing to do with the lettuce itself.

In fact, when choosing food, you don’t need to memorize a list of taboos. Just like you know which pitfalls to avoid when you walk on a regular road. When you are allergic, just avoid foods that you know will make you uncomfortable. For example, you are prone to acne and redness after eating spicy food. Don’t touch hot pot skewers when you are allergic. Drinking milk is fine. Drinking warm milk can help supplement nutrients and speed up the repair of the skin barrier.

I would like to remind you, don’t follow the trend and eat special foods that claim to be “anti-allergic”. I had an aunt who had allergies before. I heard on the live broadcast that eating “anti-allergic berry powder” would be better. However, it turned out that the powder contained mango ingredients that she was allergic to. After two days of eating, her face became swollen and her eyes could hardly open. If you are particularly red and itchy during an allergy attack, try to avoid pickled foods, seafood that has been stored for a long time, and fermented foods. These are high in histamines and may aggravate the itching. This is clinically confirmed. Don’t worry too much about anything else. It is best for you to eat comfortably without any reaction.
