Dietary Guidelines for Henoch-Schönlein Purpura
Disease description:
My husband was diagnosed with allergic purpura two days ago. I would like to know what dietary recommendations are appropriate for allergic purpura.
Patients with allergic purpura should maintain a light diet and consume plenty of vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits—such as tomatoes, citrus fruits, oranges, and grapefruits—which effectively protect blood vessels and help prevent vessel rupture. They should avoid spicy and irritating foods, including chili peppers, ginger, and garlic, and also steer clear of common allergenic foods such as seafood and shrimp.
