Any truth to eliminating dairy products from a diet helping allergies? Just curious if you may be doing that with yours.

For sure that's part of it. Dairy products produce MUCUS, and the more mucus you have the more miserable you are! You could also avoid foods with a fairly high sugar content, like orange food and citrus, wheat, and bananas. Dairy products can play havoc with your cells as well; it actually passes through your system and the dairy globules explode inside your body. Don't get me wrong - I love dairy! But this is essentially what it does, which is why so many people can't tolerate it. Not very digestible.

You could also avoid things that give a lot of people - in general - problems like peanuts, apples, wheat, pork (sad face here) and celery. And eggs, but the yolks contain good vitamin E which is also beneficial to relieve symptoms.
