Can strict dietary management lead to the development of malnutrition?

  ”Diet management” is a concept proposed by the author in the clinic, basically all diseases should be treated with herbal medicine at the same time to do a good job of diet management, especially allergic diseases, the author proposed a more systematic and strict diet management methods, but in the clinical communication with patients and parents of children, basically all parents However, in the clinical communication with patients and parents of children, basically all parents have this concern: Will strict dietary management lead to malnutrition? In response to this question, the author systematically answers.  Cough, eczema, rhinitis, anaphylaxis and other allergic diseases require the stimulation of allergens, and there are two main sources of allergens, including inhalation and ingestion groups, inhalation groups include mites, molds, pollen and so on, which are affected by the environment we live in, and it is very difficult to avoid contact, because the environment changes too much, and requires 24-hour uninterrupted attention, which is more difficult in clinical practice. Compared to the environment, diet management is tedious, but as long as you work hard, you can basically do it.  At the same time, reasonable dietary management can reduce the intake of allergens, reduce the stimulation of the body, improve immune function, and to a certain extent, ease the body’s ability to react to inhaled allergens and reduce the allergic symptoms caused by inhaled allergens. Daily need to strictly control the food, mainly including high protein and allergy-prone sauces, vegetables, fruits, etc., finished food after processing, and food affecting the body mainly (bananas, watermelon, lychee cherries, etc.) fruits, etc., the so-called nutrition, into the body, may lead to intestinal allergies, this allergy will lead to edema of the intestinal mucosa, not only can not serve the purpose of nutrition, but will affect the normal The absorption of cereals and vegetables, which is not worth the loss and becomes a burden to the body.  In addition, strict dietary management is not so strict for a lifetime, but usually takes 3 months to 6 months, and the more strict the implementation, the shorter the time will be, the body’s antibody level drops to a very low level, a small amount of high-protein allergy-prone food, the body’s immune system will appear “immune tolerance” phenomenon, not over-expressed as allergy symptoms. The body’s immune system will develop “immune tolerance” and will not over-express allergy symptoms.  Of course, for allergic patients, even if allergy symptoms are eliminated, only moderate relaxation is possible, but the principle of error should not be violated, so as not to damage the body’s immune function, when the body’s function regularly decreases, that is, the “five-seven, five-eight” Yang Qi decline, the overall immune function decreases, new allergy symptoms appear.  In addition, this “diet management” is not contrary to, but better adheres to the dietary nutrition principles of Chinese and Western medicine. The Western version of the Chinese Dietary Guidelines clearly states: cereal-based and balanced diet. Through clinical observation, it is found that through strict dietary management, besides relieving allergy symptoms, children’s weight and height will increase significantly, and some children’s weight will increase to more than 1.5 kg in January, and their complexion will gradually become rosy, which is the best reflection of nutritional improvement. Therefore, strict “dietary management” will not produce malnutrition.
