Allergies?

Postby SGTPPR » Sun Nov 03, 2019 5:42 pm

Please help. I switched to a whole food, plant based diet about 3 weeks ago, after watching Dr. McDougall on several documentaries. About two weeks ago, I began having occasional head cold like symptoms. Sneezing, runny nose, stopped up, puffy eyes, mild headache, etc. It has gradually continued to intensify over these last two weeks to lead me to think it might be a food allergy. Is this possible? How would you recommend I proceed with my diet? Are there some foods more likely to cause this that I might try eliminating first to see if I can get any relief in a shorter amount of time? :-(

Thank you,
Ron

It may just be a coincidence. People around my area have been passing a cold around for a few weeks now. Happens every change of season, especially from summer into winter.

Food allergies have different symptoms. Colds are going around, and they seem to be lasting quite a while. Get some rest, and hopefully it will pass soon.
