Hi everyone,
It is for sure a tricky time to manage. Mucus is very frustrating and if I fall off the wagon I pay.
For me - if I absolutely avoid chocolate, icecream, cheese (anything dairy related), coffee, tomatoes
sugars (which is quite tricky), no wheat (gluten) - mucus is much better.
The aircon at work was having a major impact on my sinus issues. - I had a permanently crusty nose - and was actually being slow baked from around 8.00 - noon. It turned out others were experiencing similar - and just hadn't said anything. The lovely folk who manage the building have sorted this - and no more being slow baked by the vent above my desk yeyyyyyyyyyyy. No more crusty nose or headaches
))) - all helps the cause
When I think back, the wheels of on the bus started to fall off back in May 2013 - I ended up by visiting a naturopath who came recommended by others. He said all the right things (but not overkill) and I came away with 1 x 250ml bottle of 'liquid' and 3 50ml bottles of different liquids. I was willing to try anything at that stage - and guess what... there was a marked improvement in about a week - 3 times a day at the start - definitely did something
.
I am still taking this - I know what is in it - natural herbs - have looked them up and they appear to be all good with no side effects
I do get a couple of hot flashes first thing in the morning and
a couple during the night - but nothing which I cannot manage - especially now the aircon is improved at work.
But... still am not able to tolerate any of life's guilty food pleasures and have to ensure I remain gluten free and no dairy. If I sneak a chocolate - I know about it.

Reflux and stomach issues are all good at this point.
I did go and see a naturo
