Diet for allergies is one of the most important components of treatment, since additional diseases can join the main allergen during the period of the disease aggravation. The fact is that at this time the body reacts extremely sharply to a certain substance, and therefore, using the same aggressive ingredients as food, it is possible to achieve a certain allergic reaction to them: thus, the disease will only get complicated and get rid of it will be more difficult.
Nevertheless, adherence to a strict diet is also undesirable, as this can cause abnormalities in the digestive tract: lead to constipation, bloating, poor digestibility of other foods. And since allergies are in many cases caused by abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract, this can also lead to complications.
