-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.

i don't have allergies but an older(also overweight) sister sufers year round,I read an article by a fitness guru that said he could eliminate allergies within a few days if you just cut out dairy....I told my sister to try it but she just laughed.

Thanks for the info!
