THE RIGHT NUTRITION FOR NEURODERMITIS

Richtige Ernährung bei Neurodermitis
Proper nutrition in neurodermatitis


Neurodermatitis is a skin condition that manifests in flare-ups. These flare-ups are triggered by specific factors, which can vary from person to person. It is believed that certain foods may act as triggers, potentially worsening the skin condition by prompting a new flare-up.

 

Is There a Universal Nutritional Therapy?

In short: no. Since each person with neurodermatitis reacts differently to various foods, there is no one-size-fits-all nutritional recommendation. What may act as a trigger for some can be beneficial for others and improve their symptoms.

 

Which Foods Can Trigger a Neurodermatitis Flare-up?

Although there is no universal rule, certain foods are known to potentially trigger neurodermatitis flare-ups. 

These include:
  • Cereal products made from wheat and rye
  • Nuts (especially peanuts, hazelnuts, and walnuts)
  • Dairy products, chicken eggs, and soy protein
  • Meat (particularly pork)
  • Citrus fruits (lemons, oranges, limes, etc.) – those affected may react strongly to their acidity
  • Histamine-rich foods (fish, red wine, aged cheese, tomatoes, citrus fruits, strawberries, etc.) – histamine is a substance in the body that can cause itching
  • Fruits like apples, bananas, pears, peaches, and kiwis
  • Vegetables such as potatoes, celery, sauerkraut, and carrots
  • Spicy foods – they stimulate blood flow and sweating, which can trigger itching
  • Processed baked goods and confectionery
  • Fast food
  • Alcohol and coffee

    It's important to remember that everyone's triggers may differ, and some individuals might tolerate certain foods better than others.

The Following Foods Are Particularly Well Tolerated:

  • Rice and spelt noodles
  • Gluten-free grains like oats, quinoa, and millet
  • Flaxseed, chia seeds
  • Pine nuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds
  • Lamb and turkey
  • Vegetables such as cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, beetroot, asparagus, and zucchini
  • Squash, beans, peas, lentils, and spinach
  • Lettuce
  • Watermelon
  • Refined vegetable oils and vegetable margarine
  • Mild herbs and spices
  • Mineral water, black tea, and herbal teas

 

Is There a Link to Food Allergies?

Some individuals with neurodermatitis also have food allergies, which can negatively impact the overall condition of the skin and trigger flare-ups. If a food allergy is diagnosed, it is important to consistently avoid the known allergens to help manage the skin condition.

 

What Should You Do if You Suspect an Intolerance or Allergy?

If you suspect a food intolerance or allergy, it is important to closely monitor your body's reactions. During this time, it is recommended to avoid the suspected trigger completely to help determine if it is causing the issue.

Keep a Journal to Track Possible Triggers

It's helpful to keep a journal where you note the following factors:

  • Date and time
  • Foods eaten
  • Activities (e.g., intense exercise or sweating)
  • Mood or state of mind
  • Skin condition (e.g., any flare-ups or irritation)

Over time, a pattern may emerge that can help you identify potential triggers for your neurodermatitis.

 

A balanced, vitamin-rich diet is crucial to support gut health and reduce the risk of developing allergies and intolerances.
