   Continuous nasal drip is a symptom of having a delayed allergic reaction to foods that you are eating ……. immediate food allergies give prompt and dramatic evidence of their presence….. delayed food allergies, on the other hand, can be more subtle and difficult to recognise………. keep a detailed food journal and record the foods you eat and how you feel throughout the day to enable you to recognise the symptoms of a delayed food allergy……. could be milk and dairy products or wheat or even the sugar contained in high sugar fruits such as oranges, apples, bananas, mangoes .

   Other symptoms of delayed food allergies are ~
   Chronically swollen glands;
   Chronic digestive problems, including the symptoms of IBS;
   Recurring infections such as sinusitis, tonsilitis, ear, respiratory, urinary and so forth;
   Recurring inflammatory conditions, such as gastroinestinal inflammation, arthritis etc.;
   Difficulty losing excess weiht;
   Unexplained bouts of severe fatigue after eating;
   Tendency to hold water that is not associated with the menstrual cycle;
   Dark circles under your eyes (sometimes called allergic shiners);
   Frequent stuffy nose or postnasal drip that lasts for several hours after meals; also clearing your throat frequently after eating;
   Anxiety and heart palpitations withing several hours of eating;
   Unexplained skin rashes;
   history of gallbladder disease;
   history of acne;
   history of antiobiotic use;
   Mental fogginess after eating;
   Bouts of low blood sugar;
   headaches …………… read a book called "What your Doctor May Not Tell you About IBS" by Richard N. Ash, M.D. and eliminate your symptoms and live a pain free, drug free life ..

   Ditch the milk and dairy products i say …….. many many people find it extremely hard to digest lactose contained in milk and dairy products.

   Take a calcium & vitamin D3 rich supplement perhaps in a liquid form (easiest to assimilate) to ensure you get all your calcium on a daily basis ……….and pump up your intake of fresh fish such as salmon and tuna and leafy and green vegies & fresh fruits~ the vegies are rich in both calcium and protein and the fish are rich in magnesium (antistress mineral), protein, EFA’s~ essential fatty acids which are also fantastic for lowering blood pressure,levelling out any mood or stress levels you may have and bolstering your immunity, calcium and vitamin D (the vitamin D is essential for effective calcium absorption) ……..♥

   Also take a good quality probiotic to recolonise the good flora in your gut and aid in the digestive process and ensure that you are getting all the necessary nutrients from your food….. have u recently been on a course of antiobiotics?? if so, this would produce a compromised digestive system and sap you of your energy also.

   The calcium found in vegies and fruits has a greater impact on bone health than calcium from dairy products anyways…. a study published in The Americal Journal of clinical nutrition (2002) found that a high intake of vegies and fruits has a positive impact on bone health, but dairy did not.

   Dairy products contain animal proteins, which speed the elimination of calcium from the body and make it more acidic. This can cause calcium to leach from the bones and cause problems with magnesium (essential for healthy nerve and muscle functioning and for heart health ~ known as the antistress mineral) absorption, leading to osteoporosis. In addition, we absorb only 30 percent of the calcium found in milk, compared to 40 to 70 percent of the calcium found in vegies and fruits.

   pretty disturbing actually when you consider the way the milk and dairy industry pump us with their commercials to drink more milk !!

   Cow’s milk contains proteins that are difficult for humans to digest; when these undigested proteins enter the lower digestive system, they putrefy and cause digestive problems. Dairy products encourage the production of excess mucus in the body, burdening the respiratory, digestive and immune systems. Not surprisingly, when you ditch the milk and dairy people more often than not experience markedly fewer colds and sinus & respiratory infections.

   Lactose intolerance can cause acid reflux, alternating bouts of constipation & diahorrea and will also lead to a compromised digestive system thus laying the groundwork for a body which is extremely susceptible to developing nose, throat, sinus, ear, bronchial, bladder and other infections as well……. Other symptoms of lactose intolerance are mucous in the stools, bloating and cramping, digestive troubles such as constipation, belching and burping, gassiness and wet f*arting (sorry, no other way to say it), ribbony and stringy shaped bowel movements or rabbit pellet shaped movements are all symptoms of lactose intolerance….. even achy bones and insomnia are an indication that lactose intolerance may be hindering your calcium absorption.

   Please also ensure that whichever supplement you decide to buy doesn’t contain any lactose, wheat, yeast, gluten, preservatives or flavorings, sugar or yeast as none of these have any place in a good quality supplement anyways.

   You have only vibrant health & vitality to gain by ditching the milk and dairy products mate …………. i sincerely do wish you the very best of health & vitality.

   peace 2 u

   cheers
