Eczema diet

A diet for eczema must be strictly followed, since the use of certain foods can cause severe itching.

If the exacerbation of the disease was not provoked by any specific foods, a person with eczema still needs to follow a diet.

First of all, it is necessary to note the optimal way of cooking. You have to give up fried foods. In some cases, such a waiver may be temporary and take effect only during exacerbations of the disease. However, the patient will significantly improve his state of health if he excludes fried foods altogether.

Dishes that are included in the eczema diet menu are recommended to be boiled or steamed.
