Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Has anyone tried eliminating dairy products and if so did your asthma symptoms improve? I just came across an article at NewsTarget.com that said eliminating dairy products and drinking lots of water can cure most asthma. I'm wondering if there is any truth to this.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Asthma is an allergy. If you consume a food that you are allergic to, then it could set off your asthma. Peanuts and shellfish are notorious for causing allergic reactions. Milk will not make asthma worse unless you are allergic to milk. It can make the phlegm you have thicker but it WILL NOT make your body produce more phlegm like many people say. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/phlegm/AN01455 >> Has anyone tried eliminating dairy products and if so did your asthma > symptoms improve? > > I just came across an article at NewsTarget.com that said eliminating > dairy products and drinking lots of water can cure most asthma.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hi everyone,You know, I have to be really skeptical when someone writes that there is a *cure* to asthma, no matter what the "cure" is. Asthma is a controllable disease, yes, but it can't be cured. That being said, I really don't think that if you eliminate dairy products that it's going to cure asthma.If someone is allergic to dairy products and has allergic asthma, it makes sense that avoiding dairy products is going to help the asthma. But otherwise, it seems like one of those all-too-magical cures, ones that I don't believe in!Like many of you, I avoid dairy products (especially milk/ice cream) when I'm having asthma trouble. My hot chocolate is the way to mix the packets with water--so no milk! I should've clarified that.Be well, Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo! Search.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Everybody is different - but - for some people - eliminating wheat and dairy makes a big difference. Couldn't hurt to give it a test - maybe a couple weeks - and see how you feel.
