Why does my nose run whenever I'm done eating?? page

[Clymb]

I swear it's the weirdest thing...I actually get made fun of for it by my friends. But yeah, whenever I'm full/done eating, my nose starts to run just a little bit and I get the sniffles. What's up with that?

[spakesneaker]

Are you eating spicy food?

It could possibly also be a reaction to dairy?

[Metismomma]

I have that reaction too, sometimes. Usually with hot(and I mean just out of the oven hot, not spicy) food. Especially soup...Tissue and spoon, thats me
I have a stuffed nose most of the time, so I figure its because I don't breath while I eat? I dunno... lol

[Clymb]

It's any food, whether warm/cold spicy/mild whatever. I had scrambled eggs with salsa and avocado for breakfast, along with some coconut milk, and it happened. Just a second ago I had some 90% dark chocolate and it happened too. Perhaps it is just a mystery lol

Clymb, we must be related. It has definitely not gone away as I've switched to Primal, and it has nothing to do with what I eat (wings? runny nose. Fried egg? runny nose. steak? runny nose.)

I hope someone can tell you (us) what this malady is all about!

That's weird, I just read about this happening for the first time this week in the paper in a People's Pharmacy column and then I see your post on it, same week.

Interesting--I started looking up some more "gustatory rhinitis" articles after reading this. Mostly they say it is related to hot and spicy foods though, and is a non-allergy issue. I guess they don't really know why it happens...weird. I want to get to the bottom of this mystery! lol

I have it too. I figured it was just me. Glad I'm not the only one. It's not really bad, just sort of annoying sometimes.

Sounds plausible to me.

I get this fairly often, although it only runs a tiny bit, not like streams of snot coming out of my nose. Usually only happens with warm food, but I just grab a tissue and keep eating.
