What if you were told that your sneezing and stuffy nose might not be caused by the season, the pollen in the air or some allergy to cat hair? Can you imagine the last time you didn’t sneeze continuously throughout the day? How will it feel to be able to sleep through the night and to be able to breathe through your nose?
Do you suffer from a runny, itchy nose and sneeze a lot at various times throughout the day? Do you find yourself waking up tired and not feeling well rested? Do you often get tired in the early afternoon?
Of course you need to have your condition checked out by a doctor but if you have, and they have not been able to do anything about it, besides prescribe you with antihistamines, then think about this next piece of advice.
This problem could be closely related to the food you eat. There are two main food groups that are most likely causing these allergic reactions. They are milk products and wheat. I add in a third, and that is all processed food. That is including junk food.
You need to cut out all three of these and then monitor your condition from there. You have to be able to identify exactly what it is that maybe causing these reactions. The only way to do this is through a food elimination diet. It might be quite hard to do at first, but if you really want to get to the bottom of the cause of this, and not to have to rely on medicines anymore, then this diet is highly recommended.
Cut out any products that have milk. This includes certain drinks, yogurt, cheese, butter, some soups and sauces. Wheat is found in almost everything so it’s quite a hard food group to eliminate. Be careful to read the label of the package before buying or eating it. This food group includes breads, cereals, crackers and most savory snacks as well as some sauces and soups. Then lastly, do your best to cut out processed foods like instant meals and oily snacks.
Follow this strict diet for a week. Keep a food diary and note any changes in your condition.
Then introduce a milk product first and make a note of what happens. In the first week you should introduce only milk. If you find that the itchy, runny nose and sneezing returns then you have found your problem, if not then introduce wheat products. Do this for all three food groups. I do highly recommend that you cut back on processed foods and junk food anyway, because they are really bad for anyone and can cause health problems later in life.
