Urticaria is caused by allergies, and diet is an important cause of urticaria, so if you have urticaria you must avoid certain foods, that is, what Chinese medicine calls "irritating foods". Try not to eat them. Common ones include some fruits and vegetables, such as bamboo shoots, spinach, peaches, apricots, etc. Some mushrooms and edible fungi also contain some irritating foods. Try to avoid eating some seafood.

Urticaria taboos

Patients with urticaria should be careful about their diet. Traditional Chinese medicine has the concept of "irritating foods", which refers to certain foods that can cause recurrence of old diseases or worsen new diseases after consumption. The following are some of the common "hair-raising foods" in our daily diet:

1. Vegetables that are not suitable for people with urticaria

They mainly include bamboo shoots, mustard greens, spinach, etc. These foods are easy to induce skin sores and swelling.

2. Fruits that are not suitable for people with urticaria

The main ones are peaches, apricots, etc. Eating too many peaches can easily cause heat, and cause carbuncles, sores, ulcers, furuncles, and worm-induced malnutrition. Eating too many apricots can cause carbuncles and furuncles, and damage the tendons and bones.

3. Edible fungi that are not suitable for people with urticaria

They mainly include mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, etc. Overeating of these foods can easily cause wind and yang, triggering chronic diseases such as liver yang headache, liver wind dizziness, etc. In addition, it can easily induce or aggravate skin sores and swelling.

4. Avoid seafood in patients with urticaria

The main aquatic products include hairtail, yellow croaker, pomfret, clam meat, shrimp, crab, etc. These foods are mostly salty, cold and fishy. For people with allergies, they can easily induce allergic diseases such as asthma and urticaria. At the same time, they can also easily induce skin diseases such as sores, swelling and toxins.

5. Poultry and livestock that are not suitable for people with urticaria

The main ones include chicken heads, pork heads, goose meat, chicken wings, chicken feet, etc. This kind of food is active and ascending in nature. Eating it can easily stir up wind and raise yang, triggering chronic diseases such as liver yang headache, liver wind dizziness, etc. In addition, it can easily induce or aggravate skin sores and swelling. Although eggs are not allergenic, you should not eat too many of them. Generally, you should not eat more than two eggs a day, especially for patients with hepatitis, allergies, hyperlipidemia, high fever, kidney disease, and diarrhea. The reason is that eggs contain a lot of protein, but they are foreign proteins, and a considerable number of people experience pathological reactions after eating foreign proteins.

4 major care methods

1. Don’t scratch

Reduce scratching and avoid hot compresses and hot baths. The above practices can temporarily relieve itching, because scratching or heat stimulation will cause local blood vessels to dilate and increase exudation, thereby aggravating the condition of urticaria.

2. Seek medical attention promptly

If you experience dizziness, difficulty breathing, chest tightness or other discomfort, seek medical attention immediately and be alert to anaphylactic shock or suffocation.

3. Healthy mentality

Maintain a healthy mindset. About 15% to 20% of patients will experience urticaria at least once in their lifetime, and many patients can recover on their own. Mental stress is also one of the triggers of urticaria, so maintaining a happy mood is beneficial to preventing urticaria.

4. Diet adjustment

Regarding dietary issues, patients must pay attention to their diet during the urticaria period. There are many requirements for what they can eat and what they should avoid.
