Allergic purpura is an immune system disorder, primarily manifested as skin purpura, joint pain, abdominal pain, and kidney damage. A proper diet can help improve symptoms and promote recovery.

It is recommended to choose foods rich in fiber, such as vegetables, fruits, and legumes, including spinach, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, apples, and others, which help enhance intestinal health and reduce the growth of harmful bacteria. Whole grains such as oats, whole wheat bread, and brown rice are rich in dietary fiber and vitamin B, providing sustained energy for the body.

Increase intake of foods rich in vitamins C and E, such as citrus fruits, kiwifruit, spinach, nuts, and seed oils. These nutrients have antioxidant effects that can reduce inflammation and promote vascular health. Cod liver oil, as a good source of vitamins A and D, helps support immune system function and skin health.

Maintaining adequate hydration is beneficial for kidney detoxification and overall health. While adjusting their diet, patients should follow medical advice, have regular follow-up examinations, and monitor changes in their condition.
