    Arrow Why does my nose run so freaking much?!

    Last spring I realized that I'd inherited my mother's allergies. (Thanks, Mom. Love ya!) I was super stuffed up, could barely breathe when it was bad out. Discovered Claritin.

    This year I've also tried Zyrtec, finding that it does make me drowsy. Only going to use it when trying to sleep and allergies are bad and don't have to do anything the next day.

    My nose has been running for a few months now.. even before the weather channel was saying there was ANY pollen.

    My landlord took apart the windowsill in our second bedroom yesterday and there was a lot of rot and mold.

    Could mold be the culprit???

    I know I should go to see an allergist but ATM I don't have health insurance.

    Maybe mold. Maybe dairy.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

    I *love* dairy. Plus, my nose still runs in the morning even after no dairy at night and only my anti-oxidants, which is non-dairy.

    Maybe I should get some soy milk (gonna have to get used to it) and use that for my cereal for a few days and see what happens.

    ^^^^

    If you *love* dairy it probably *is* the dairy. The foods we *love* are generally the ones that are the ones doing us the most damage. For everyone it's different. But knowing you *love* dairy, have allergies and a runny nose - I have a strong feeling dairy's the culprit.

    On a positive note, there are lots of other "milks" out there! Soy, almond, hazelnut, hemp, etc.

    Are you drinking skim milk or whole milk? Sometimes it's the lowfat/skim stuff that people have more problems with. OR try goat or sheeps milk!

    Whole. Always whole.

    Goat or sheep's milk? Never thought of that.. I assume a natural health food store or something?

    Hmm.. just thought of this... I tend to drink milk when I work, too. It's also whole. My nose doesn't run when I'm at work. Maybe it's the physical activity that prevents it?

    I'm confused

    Okay.. posting too much in my own thread.. if there such a thing. Just bought myself some plain Silk soy milk... tastes okay. Going to try this for a few days until the half gallon runs out and see if my nose gets any better.

    ^^ Yeah just cut out milk for a couple weeks and see if anything improves. I didn't mean to confuse!

    get yourself a neti pot and solution (you can get sinucleanse at the drugstore). i tried it this week and i'm not going to get a prescription for flonase anymore. sure, it looks odd but it really works!
