4. Cytotoxic allergic reaction

The reaction develops in various tissues and organs. The antibodies are directed against antigens present on the surface of the body's own cells.

6. Elimination diet

The elimination diet is not only a way to detect which food ingredient causes an allergic reaction. It is also a way of treating it. When we find out which ingredient is allergic to our body, it is necessary to exclude it from the diet. After some time the allergen has been discontinued, you can try to re-introduce it into your meals, but remember to do so gradually and give it in small doses. If an allergenic reaction does not occur, then you can increase the dose gradually. However, we don't have to introduce it back into the diet if the previous allergic response was strong enough.

In recent times, avoiding foods that are considered to be allergenic has become very popular. Too many people exclude foods from their diets without a logical explanation. They are following the so-called "allergenic" fashion. People with extremes fall to the extreme. But before we completely decide to exclude a particular allergen from our diets, it's worth knowing our body. To this end, we need to start a healthy, well-established diet. It should contain all the necessary macronutrients, vitamins and minerals. If we are new to the field of dietary medicine, we should eliminate allergens from the dietary pyramid of healthy food products and we should be physically active to eliminate the allergen products. So, if we use any dietary methods to remove any of these allergenes from our diet. So if we do not observe any of the symptoms of food allergies that occur in the first few weeks of our diet, it is important to know that there is no evidence of any adverse reactions to food allergens that occur, and if we are not aware of any of any possible adverse effects on the diet.
