What should not be eaten by people with Henoch-Schönlein purpura? These foods are taboo

Allergic purpura is a common skin disease with a complicated treatment process and will still recur once encountering allergens. Therefore, patients with allergic purpura must not eat allergenic foods, but can eat more protein-rich and blood-enriching foods.

Allergic purpura is an immune emergency response that causes bleeding due to increased vascular permeability and fragility, which can easily affect the gastrointestinal tract, joints, and kidneys. In severe cases, it can lead to nephrotic syndrome and kidney failure, which is life-threatening.

During the period of allergic purpura, you can eat more fruits, vegetables, and staple foods, but you need to avoid raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods, avoid tobacco and alcohol, avoid animal high-protein foods, and avoid foods containing preservatives. However, specific dietary taboos vary from person to person and from condition to condition, and the patient's family members need to observe closely. If eating certain foods will aggravate the condition, they need to be avoided.

First of all, all kinds of allergenic foods should be avoided.

Food allergy is a major cause of this disease. Foreign proteins in many foods can cause allergic purpura. These foods mainly include fish, shrimp, crab, eggs, milk, broad beans, pineapple, etc. Once a patient finds that a certain food is allergenic, he or she should not eat this food for life, and should not use cooking utensils and tableware that have come into contact with this food. In addition, patients with allergic purpura should not eat vegetables such as fresh flower buds that they have never eaten before, because it has been reported that plant pollen is also a common allergen.

Secondly, patients with allergic purpura often suffer from anemia due to excessive bleeding, so they should eat more protein-rich and blood-enriching foods to supplement the body's needs. These foods mainly include lean meat, eggs, animal liver, kidney, spinach, tomatoes, kelp, seaweed, fungus, jujube and beans and their products.

It is worth noting that the diet of patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura should not only supplement with various nutritious foods, but also try to make the food lighter. Those with kidney damage should limit the intake of salt and water.
