Multiple food allergies create serious health problems for the sufferers. For some people, these allergies can even be life-threatening. Alia Haley has a few tips for the sufferers.
If you have found yourself suffering from multiple allergies, you’d do well to keep the following tips in overcoming the problem.
Have a Proper Food Plan: The first thing you need to do is chalk out a food plan to be followed every week. For the same, you can seek advice from your family members. But stick to the food plan which suits you the best.
Remember to have a balanced diet, despite having to let go of certain meals with necessary proteins, nutrients, and other important elements, which you body requires for nourishment. Your doctor or dietician can suggest just the right combination of meal for your balance diet.
Clean Your Pantry: Now you need to clean your pantry. You’d need to search for appropriate substitutes for your diet, if the allergens are there in the pantry. If possible, learn to cook on your own since you cannot always depend upon the packaged food or keep on bugging your family members all the time.
Also, to avoid any infection, you need to separate your cooking and eating utensils like cutting boards, plates, pots, etc., from your family members’. This way, you reduce the probability of food cross-contamination. You’d also need to be extra conscious in cleaning and handling your utensils.
Classify the Food You Need: You need to find out what kind of food and meal you can eat to avoid multiple food allergies. So get an accurate diagnosis. You can also get a whole body check-up done by your doctor to clearly know what kind of foods can be safe for you.
Once you find out better alternatives, stick to them; however, the worst part can be cooking, which you gradually get used to.
Eating Out for Travelers: If you frequently travel for business or other purposes, you require a diet plan for your travels. With a little bit of planning, you can restrict un-hygienic food intake during your travel or any business event. The best way is to carry the diet card of your preferred foods wherever you go, and let the restaurant or hotel staff know about your allergies and the diet card.
