Our team of registered dietitians at Nutrition Academy understand the challenges that you face when working with a patient who has highly specialized dietary needs.

We know there are specific dietary interventions that can be trialed with patients living with eczema and atopic dermatitis, but putting together these dietary changes can be tedious and time consuming.

This is why we’ve created a bundle pack of handouts for dietitians and health care professionals

The FACTS:

Nickel is a common allergy affecting approximately 4-13% of the population, and a common cause of contact dermatitis contact cheilitis, and eczema.

Salicylates and histamine are both food chemicals that can create allergic-type reactions in the body frequently referred to as intolerances. These food chemicals and the reduction of intake has also been associated with reducing eczema flare ups in certain individuals.

Salicylate intolerance is known to cause a variety of different symptoms including: asthma symptoms or attacks, itching & hives, angioedema (swelling), nasal congestion and digestive symptoms (pain, diarrhea).

The low histamine diet is a diet used to manage the symptoms of mast cell activation disorder or histamine intolerance. It is also used in food chemical sensitivity.

Chromate is a common allergy affecting approximately 6% of the population, and a potential contributor of eczema. There has been a small body of evidence to suggest that reducing chromate in the diet may help improve eczema flare ups in patients who are sensitive to chromate.
