Advice from a professional nutritionist

As a snack, you can use cottage cheese, yogurt, fruits, vegetables, and tea that can be drunk with the addition of lemon.

Second, by eliminating possible allergens from food as much as possible, it will be easier to monitor allergy dynamics and draw conclusions on your own.
Adults can follow this diet for no more than three weeks, and children for a maximum of 9 days. If at the end of the diet it appears that the state of health has improved, then gradually you need to add foods that were previously prohibited. This should be done at intervals of three days for each new product, as allergic reactions may not appear immediately. This diet is also called non-specific.
If there is no improvement, it is necessary to gradually exclude moderate allergen foods, and then low allergenic foods. You can limit the diet only under the supervision of a specialist. For a more accurate identification of allergies, doctors are advised to write down your diet in a diary, and how your body reacts to each product.
You must eat with attention to all the body's needs for vitamins and minerals. You should not overeat, because the extra food particles will not be digested, but will only poison the body.
Protein-rich foods should be combined with vegetables, in this case the fiber they contain will block the penetration of the allergen into the bloodstream.
This type of diet food is absolutely suitable for all adults, children and even nursing mothers.
