NUTRITION AND SKIN PROBLEMS

Is diet really important for skin problems?

YES, of course it depends on which foods you eliminate or avoid for certain problems, but they all have one thing in common - skin problems are a reflection of the gut and the balance in the body.

Therefore, I recommend that you completely give up the most common dietary triggers, such as wheat gluten, milk and dairy products, and eggs, at least during the outbreak.

I often receive photos of children or adults in my email, which clearly let me know that it is a milk allergy, although allergy tests do not necessarily confirm this, and of course I am not a doctor, so I can only inform you of the suspicion and possible testing in the hospital or at home, which is the most reliable - removal and monitoring of the skin. Don't worry, this does not mean that you will never again be allowed to consume milk or dairy products, gluten, eggs ... You will just not burden your body further, so that it can recover faster. When you add certain foods back into your diet, you will be able to observe your skin, if the problems start again, it will be necessary to change your eating habits for life. I know, it's not nice to hear - I feel you.

Ask your doctor for intolerance and allergy tests, go for bioresonance... When a person is sick and does not feel good in their own skin, they search. Solutions, therapies, healers, doctors, homeopaths, biotherapists and so on. It is true that those who search will find! No solution is universal for everyone, just like our bodies/skin. It is not said that one thing that helped our neighbor Jožica will also help you or vice versa. Read, search, listen, test...

Another matter that is worth mentioning and warning about. Have you heard of HURRY ? I don't mean the current hit on the radio ;). I'm talking about HISTAMINE INTOLERANCE , also one of the issues you can pay more attention to when experiencing problems such as: skin irritation, itching, difficulty breathing, asthma, stomach and intestinal problems, swelling, sneezing...

Sometimes people are sure that they have a food allergy, but no tests confirm it. The symptoms are very similar to those of food allergies. Problems appear quite quickly after consuming a food with high histamine. HIT is when there is too much histamine in the body, and the body is unable to break it down. Therefore, HIT allergy tests and laboratory blood analyses do not confirm allergies. In short, histamine is a biological substance that accumulates in certain foods and is also one of the chemical substances released in the body as part of an allergic reaction. We have an enzyme in the intestinal mucosa diamine oxidase, which ensures that histamine ingested with food is eliminated and does not cause problems. However, if you have low levels of this enzyme in your body, histamine remains in the body and this, of course, causes allergy-related symptoms.

Side effects of histamine:

• Vasodilation, rapid heartbeat, headaches, edema of the mucous membranes and skin (swelling), runny nose, itching, intestinal cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, flatulence, choking as in asthma...

In addition to food, an increase in histamine can also be caused by medications, such as aspirin.

The treatment is again the same as everywhere else…diet! Yes, I know, no joy, there is no miracle pill or cream that can solve this, unfortunately. The body absorbs histamine from food and drink. It is found most in foods that are part of the ripening process.

To make things a little easier for you, I'll list some foods that contain high levels of histamine:

• Sparkling wine, wine, beer, cider, fermented and spirituous beverages, sauerkraut, pickled foods, vinegar, tofu and soy sauces, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and dressings, cheeses, processed meats, mushrooms, smoked and canned fish, prepared salads, dried fruits, seeds, nuts, yeast, chocolate, cocoa….

Then there are foods that contain little histamine but can stimulate its release from mast cells (a type of immune cell). These are:

• Bananas, tomatoes, strawberries, mussels, spinach, egg whites, eggplants, zucchini, avocados, papaya, kiwi, pineapple, mango, raspberries, tangerines, grapefruits, plums, peas, spices.

I hope the notes were helpful to you, I have to admit that I learn something new from the notes every time and can practice them in my own life.
