Urticaria, manifested by skin redness, itching and blistering, is often the result of an allergic reaction to foods. The treatment of a patient with food urticaria requires an integrated approach, including medical and dietary consultation. The doctor, after taking a history, may prescribe medication to relieve symptoms and refer for allergy tests and blood tests. Based on the results, the dietician sets up an elimination diet to calm the allergy. After a few days or so, a provocation may be carried out to check whether the allergy has subsided. Collaboration between the doctors and the dietician is crucial for successful treatment and recovery of the patient.
