These are often foods that contain sugar or histamine. However, those affected should only <strong>avoid<\/strong> the <strong>foods that trigger intolerances<\/strong> in order to continue to supply the body with all the important nutrients.  <\/p>\n\n<p>In this article, you will find out how those affected can influence the appearance of their skin through the right diet and how food allergies and atopic dermatitis are linked in children and adults.  <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-primary-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/en\/neurodermatitis-knowledge\/\">Neurodermatitis &#8211; read more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The connection between atopic dermatitis and food allergies<\/h2>\n\n<p>It has now been proven that there is a <strong>direct link between atopic dermatitis and food allergies<\/strong> or intolerances. Children who develop eczema at a relatively early age have the greatest risk of developing allergic reactions to certain foods.  <\/p>\n\n<p>This usually manifests itself in <strong>symptoms on the skin such as wheals, reddening of the skin and itching<\/strong>. An allergy test by a specialist can help even young children.<\/p>\n\n<p>Adults and adolescents, on the other hand, are more likely to suffer from <strong>cross-allergies between food and pollen<\/strong>, which worsen the appearance of the skin. Typical hay fever symptoms, on the other hand, are usually absent. In these cases it is also important to find out which foods cause an allergic reaction and to avoid them.  <\/p>\n\n<p>It is usually advisable to consult a <strong>doctor<\/strong> with the symptoms, as they can prescribe the <strong>appropriate therapy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I not eat if I have atopic dermatitis?<\/h2>\n\n<p>If you suffer from atopic dermatitis, you should avoid <strong>histamine-rich<\/strong>, <strong>spicy<\/strong> and <strong>sugary<\/strong> foods such as honey or sweets. But <strong>industrially<\/strong> produced foods are also <strong>bad<\/strong> for the skin of those affected. These often contain traces of possible <a href=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/en\/neurodermatitis-knowledge\/triggers-of-neurodermatitis\/\" title=\"Triggers of neurodermatitis\">neurodermatitis triggers<\/a>. You should pay attention to the <strong>ingredients list<\/strong> of the products.<\/p>\n\n<p>Even small amounts of certain additives can trigger an atopic dermatitis flare-up. So make sure you check whether <strong>allergens<\/strong> are included if you do want to use <strong>ready-made products<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>However, it&#8217;s best if you cook your <strong>own<\/strong> <strong>meals<\/strong> as often as possible. Then you know what is in your meals and can more easily <strong>avoid<\/strong> known <strong>triggers<\/strong> <strong>such as sugar<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>However, there are also foods that can help against atopic dermatitis and should therefore be on your menu more often.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which foods help against atopic dermatitis?<\/h2>\n\n<p>For the <strong>right diet for atopic dermatitis <\/strong>, you should focus primarily on anti-inflammatory foods. They can alleviate the symptoms.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vegetable oils<\/h3>\n\n<p>The anti-inflammatory <strong>omega-3<\/strong> <strong>acids<\/strong> contained in <strong>linseed oil<\/strong>, <strong>coconut oil<\/strong>, <strong>black cumin oil<\/strong> and <strong>hemp oil<\/strong> can alleviate the symptoms of inflamed skin in those affected.<\/p>\n\n<p>However, this has not yet been scientifically proven. Nevertheless, the results to date show a <strong>positive trend<\/strong>. Some test subjects showed an anti-inflammatory effect after taking the vegetable oils.  <\/p>\n\n<p>You can use the <strong>oils for<\/strong> <strong>cooking<\/strong> <strong>or as a salad dressing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/lebensmittel-gegen-neurodermitis-leinocc88l-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Which foods help against atopic dermatitis?\" class=\"wp-image-2695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/lebensmittel-gegen-neurodermitis-leinocc88l-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/lebensmittel-gegen-neurodermitis-leinocc88l-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/lebensmittel-gegen-neurodermitis-leinocc88l-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/lebensmittel-gegen-neurodermitis-leinocc88l-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/lebensmittel-gegen-neurodermitis-leinocc88l-769x433.jpg 769w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/lebensmittel-gegen-neurodermitis-leinocc88l-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/lebensmittel-gegen-neurodermitis-leinocc88l.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food for a better complexion<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>There are also herbs, vegetables, fruit and fish that have a positive effect on your skin:  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Green leafy vegetables such as kale and spinach  <\/li><li>Salmon  <\/li><li>Red and blue berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)<\/li><li>Spices: Turmeric, sage, thyme, parsley, cloves, cinnamon and basil  <\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p>The ingredients of the <strong>foods<\/strong> mentioned here help to support a healthy <strong>complexion<\/strong>. Some spices are also available in <strong>tea form<\/strong>. Sage, lemon balm and green tea in particular have an anti-inflammatory effect and <strong>strengthen<\/strong> the <strong>immune system<\/strong> if you consume them regularly.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vegetables and fruit strengthen the intestinal flora and immune system<\/h3>\n\n<p>Healthy intestinal flora is a prerequisite for healthy skin. Allergic reactions and neurodermatitis probably originate in the gut. <strong>Vegetables<\/strong> and <strong>fruit<\/strong> promote intestinal health and should be part of your <strong>daily<\/strong> diet. <strong>Five to ten different species<\/strong> are best.  <\/p>\n\n<p>You can build up your <strong>intestinal flora<\/strong> with probiotic products. It also strengthens your immune system.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which diet promotes atopic dermatitis?<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>In atopic dermatitis, diet is often<\/strong> <strong>directly linked to inflammation of<\/strong> the skin and eczema.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Certain<\/strong> <strong>foods<\/strong> are suspected of causing neurodermatitis. However, there is no general recommendation as to what you should <strong>not<\/strong> <strong>eat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>You should therefore test your<strong> personal atopic dermatitis triggers<\/strong> from the foods listed here by simply leaving them out on a trial basis.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>These include the following foods, for example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"block-6379c96a-e91a-4261-81f8-03a81d36f6d2\"><li>Wheat products and cereals containing histamine<\/li><li>Nuts (especially peanuts and walnuts, which often trigger cross-allergies)<\/li><li>Apples (with the exception of dark red and sweet ones), peaches, bananas and pears<\/li><li>Certain vegetables: potatoes, celery, carrots and tomatoes<\/li><li>Strawberries, pineapple and citrus fruits can lead to flare-ups in some cases<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"block-6379c96a-e91a-4261-81f8-03a81d36f6d2\"><li>Finished products or industrially manufactured products<\/li><li>Foods that contain histamine e.g. pineapple, eggplant, red wine, cheese  <\/li><li>Milk, chicken and soy protein  <\/li><li>Spicy food: Not necessarily a trigger, but can lead to itching<\/li><li>Foods with a high sugar content<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>An optimal atopic dermatitis diet is <strong>colorful<\/strong> and <strong>avoids<\/strong> <strong>fast<\/strong> <strong>food<\/strong> and <strong>convenience products<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can you drink with atopic dermatitis?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Another possible <strong>trigger for<\/strong> <strong>atopic dermatitis<\/strong> is <strong>sugar<\/strong>. It is therefore better to avoid <strong>drinks that contain<\/strong> too much <strong>sugar<\/strong>. Instead, you can regularly drink <strong>herbal teas<\/strong> or <strong>mineral<\/strong> and <strong>tap water<\/strong> without sugar. Herbal teas that are suitable are: <strong>Green tea<\/strong>, <strong>lemon balm tea<\/strong>, <strong>peppermint tea<\/strong> and <strong>nettle tea<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Caution should also be exercised with highly carbonated drinks and coffee.  <\/p>\n\n<p>You can enjoy unsweetened fruit juices in moderation. You should avoid drinks with histamine such as <strong>white and red wine<\/strong>. They very often cause irritation to the skin.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-was-darf-man-trinken-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"What can you drink with atopic dermatitis?\" class=\"wp-image-2698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-was-darf-man-trinken-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-was-darf-man-trinken-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-was-darf-man-trinken-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-was-darf-man-trinken-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-was-darf-man-trinken-769x433.jpg 769w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-was-darf-man-trinken-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/neurodermitis-was-darf-man-trinken.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nutrition for neurodermatitis &#8211; our tips:<\/h2>\n\n<p>We have a few tips to help you find the right diet for atopic dermatitis: Keep a diary of which foods cause you to have flare-ups. How strong and how long they usually last is also important.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Then leave them out for two to three weeks. If your skin improves as a result, then you know which foods you need to avoid. If you notice a reaction to <strong>dairy products<\/strong>, you should look for <strong>alternatives<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Almond milk<\/strong>, <strong>coconut milk<\/strong> or <strong>oat milk<\/strong> taste similar and contain no lactose. Ask a doctor for advice on this. A detailed <strong>food diary<\/strong> can help you find the right diet.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I bear in mind when feeding children with atopic dermatitis?<\/h2>\n\n<p>A targeted atopic dermatitis <strong>diet<\/strong> is often <strong>difficult<\/strong> for <strong>children<\/strong>. Simply banning children from sweets and sugary drinks can be counterproductive. They then simply find other ways to get them or there is great frustration in the family.<\/p>\n\n<p>We have prepared some helpful tips for you so that your child can live as fully as possible despite atopic dermatitis: <a href=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/neurodermitis-tipps-kinder\/\">7 tips for parents with atopic dermatitis in children<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternative sweets<\/h3>\n\n<p>Rice or sheep&#8217;s milk chocolate offer alternatives to conventional sweets. Gummies made from animal products should be consumed with caution. But here too, there are vegan alternatives to replace them.  <\/p>\n\n<p>This means you can let your children snack without worry, even if they suffer from neurodermatitis. A balanced <strong>mixed<\/strong> diet is important. If your child reacts to certain fruits, you should leave them out.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dairy products and breastfeeding for babies with atopic dermatitis<\/h3>\n\n<p>It is more difficult with dairy products. Before you leave them out completely, it is important to consult your <strong>pediatrician\/midwife <\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Atopic dermatitis often develops in children. This is why triggers can disappear again as we get older. Children with a possible predisposition to this should be <strong>breastfed<\/strong> for longer if possible.  <\/p>\n\n<p>This is because <strong>breast milk<\/strong> strengthens the child&#8217;s <strong>immune system<\/strong>. This reduces the risk of neurodermatitis. In some cases, it is prevented altogether.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Complementary food should only be introduced gradually after the fourth month; this can have a positive effect on the course of the disease.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-primary-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/en\/neurodermatitis\/\">Reducing neurodermatitis with phages<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Certain foods are a trigger for atopic dermatitis.
