    Those who have allergy issues, would want to take note of the food you eat.   This is often overlooked.

     

    Chronic disease makes life unbareable and reduces quality of life (QoL)!   I love food and i just eat what i like and suffer later every time!.

     

    Maybe @chamfer  & others can share more details too.

    Histamine-rich foods

     

    Foods to avoid

    A healthy diet contains moderate levels of histamine. However, there are some foods high in histamine that can trigger inflammatory reactions and other negative symptoms.

    Histamine-rich foods are:

    There are also a number of foods that trigger histamine release in the body, such as:

    Foods that block DAO production include:

    You naturally produce histamine along with the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO). DAO is responsible for breaking down histamine that you take in from foods.

    If you develop a DAO deficiency and are unable to break down histamine, you could develop an intolerance.

    Some reasons your DAO enzyme levels could be affected include:

    • medications that block DAO functions or prevent production
    • gastrointestinal disorders, such as leaky gut syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease
    • histamine-rich foods that cause DAO enzymes to function improperly
    • foods that block DAO enzymes or trigger histamine release

    Bacterial overgrowth is another contributing factor for developing a histamine intolerance. Bacteria grows when food isn’t digested properly, causing histamine overproduction. Normal levels of DAO enzymes can’t break down the increased levels of histamine in your body, causing a reaction.

    i read bridget's writings on sea politics at times.

     

    her writings r quite impartial and insightful.

     

    better than those political tcss mediacock interviews

     

    My guess  is many of the local political commentators are too afraid to give unbiased comments as most are under the body of gov.  Scared cant get promoted or kenna condemned.

    Garlic, ginger & turmeric (curcumin) has anti-inflammatory properties   But heat reduces its efficacy.

    Ya. Sometimes i felt a little feverish but no fever due to my nose and sneezing. I will microwave 2 cloves of garlic and eat it. A few hrs later will be fine

     

    From my experience, When my allergic rhinitis starts, mucus will starts to flow.  It could flow out from your nose or back down through your throat (post nasal drip) .  If it doesnt discharge out from your head and gets build up in your facial cavities (see above pics).  Infections will occur. Bacteria, virus, fungus,.... will culture in the cavities and cause inflammation.  Your face and neck have ~300 lymph nodes and those infected areas will starts to swell.  In this case, u need to take Nasal decongestant (eg Alfrin) or oral decongestant (Telfast D, Clarityn-D...) The D stands for decongestant to treat the symptom.  It helps to "dry up" the mucus.  The common decongestant chemical name is Phenylephrine (less effective) and Pseudoephedrine (sudofed). 

     

    You will feel pain on your facial region and neck where inflammation occurs.  It will take a few days for the pain to subside. 

     

    The antihistamine is to mitigate the histamine discharge from your body. 

     

    Note: I am just sharing as a fellow sufferer and not a ENT specialist.  Please talk to your ENT specialist.
