Wondering what to eat if you have the inflammatory skin condition atopic dermatitis, commonly known as eczema? I’m here to help with recipes that fit into a healthy, well-balanced diet — the kind of diet that will improve your management of atopic dermatitis symptoms, according to the National Eczema Association.
As recommended by the experts at the Cleveland Clinic, the recipes lean hard on anti-inflammatory ingredients (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, healthy fats, spices such as turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon) and include few or no pro-inflammatory ingredients (refined grains, processed foods, red meat, added sugar).
If you have a food allergy or food sensitivity, read the ingredient lists here carefully before you dive into a cooking project, and bring any concerns or questions to your doctor. Food allergies are more common in people with atopic dermatitis than in the general population, affecting an estimated 30 percent of people with AD (per the National Eczema Association), and they can be serious.

Caramelized Onion Lentil Burgers
If you've never cooked lentils before, try this beginner-friendly recipe. It’s worth the effort: Lentils are incredibly healthy. Like beans, they offer plant-based protein and fiber plus iron and folate, per the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Research has found that regularly eating lentils lowers the risk of diseases like diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and some cancers. All of this is likely due to high levels of healthy compounds called polyphenols.

Curried Pumpkin Soup
Nothing combines the flavors and feelings of autumn quite like pumpkin soup. Here, the rich flavor of curry brings this soup to life while lending the anti-inflammatory benefits of the spices it contains (namely turmeric, as Johns Hopkins Medicine notes). A touch of black pepper is added to increase your body’s ability to absorb the curcumin from the turmeric, as described in the results of a past study. Low-sodium broth makes this recipe healthier for your ticker.

Beet ‘Poke’ Bowl With Sesame-Ginger Dressing
Golden beets, which have a slightly milder flavor than red, join another underappreciated root vegetable, the radish, in this colorful, veggie-packed bowl. Radishes are low in calories, packing less than 20 per cup, according to the USDA, and contain several types of antioxidants, according to an article published in 2019 in the journal Nutrients.
Use precooked beets and a bag of shredded cabbage for a quick assembly. And to bump up the amount of protein in this bowl, feel free to add tofu or edamame, or use chickpea rice.
