I have non-allergic rhinitis. Isn't there something I can use?

Question

I too have acute non-allergic rhinitis. I have had it for 4 years now. It just started up. At first I thought it was my seasonal allergies; but it wasn't that as I continued to have the need to cough up mucus etc. My doctor says there is no cure. I have tried antihistomines. I find that when I am very busy doing something I don't have the same intensity of "fits" as it were. I am afraid of going to the library, the store and even church because I have to almost continuely use my hanky to cover my mouth as I try to cough up something.When I sleep I sleep with an elevated pillow. Nothing seems to lesson my problem. And, it adds to my depression. I am a disabled veteran, living alone. I'd love to resume going to church; but I do not want the stares or looks of people even when I try to suppress my need to cough up anything. And yes, I have tried suppressants. I am 56 years old. I take ritalin, effexor, vicodin and use an inhaler for my asthma.

Can anyone help? I live only on social s

Answer 1

I had the same problem for years. And as I found out it has to do with diet, and not with lack of drugs.
There's a couple of things that will help you get rid of. First avoid all dairy. No milk, cheese, cream, yogurt, ice cream. Increase the amount of raw vegetables you eat, and drink fresh green vegetable juice (avoid carrot and beat), I recommend 1 litre per day. If you drink alcohol try to drink less, cut down on smoking if you do smoke, and avoid sodas. If you do this for a month you'll feel way better.
