Tai, sinus congestion (at night) has been a part of 'me' for as long as I can

remember! My mom used to kiddingly call me The Horn That Blows At Midnight (old

Jack Benny movie title) since I am so loud with my nasal clearing. Well I have

been shockingly surprised to find that when I don't eat gluten, this is not a

problem for me! I'm not saying that not eating gluten would clear everyone up

who has such a condition, but its such a strong correlation for me that I can't

deny it (now).

You are doing so well getting going on your IE journey I hesitate to even

mention this at this stage for you. Heck it was YEARS for me to where I could be

in the noticing state of mind. Just wanted to feedback for anyone who likewise

wonders about night time sinus discomfort. Its also amazing what a glass of

water does too. (I'm an ex-camel type [not big water drinker] as well)

Katcha, thank you, it was so refreshing to hear you say that, as I realize this journey is going to take me the rest of my life and one well worth it. I am ordering the IE book again so I can really pay attention to the concepts. I see there are other books by Tribole at the library and I expect to look at them, but because I am so grateful to Ms. Tribole for her book, I believe I am going to buy it from & Noble soon, although I did have it once before. Regarding what you say in reference to sinus & gluten, interesting to note that when I was a little girl the doctor decided I had celiac disease, although it was never confirmed with tests, but my mother had me on a gluten free diet for years. It seem so difficult for me to get off gluten at this point, let me say impossible. sigh.

Tai, it was plain old water that I was speaking of. Since I have to almost TELL

myself to 'drink water', it shouldn't be a surprise to me how my tissues

(sinuses) go AHHHH! when they immediately absorb the moisture. There are times

when I still feel 'dry' after drinking (plain) water so I have the meerest

'dash' of salt chased down by another glass of water. I do live where I am

outdoors more as well as cook from fresh/scratch with little or no salt added so

its likely I am not getting as much salt as others would. This extra salt

routine helps me to sleep longer because I'm not dry and uncomfortable. (Like

you, the ladies in my family seem to have a bladder the size of a walnut).

Abby and Katcha, thanks for replies. Thanks for mentioning that water would help replenish the tissues, and I can see or understand that dry membranes might cause more stuff to be produced, rather than less. To be honest, if rules could help us, we'd all be doing the right thing, don't you think? I am taking into consideration the water issue, I have a bottle right here and so I am going to drink some. :-) BUT, and however, I generally think it could be another issue at work here at night, and that would include how I sleep (I'm a side sleeper, so one side of my face is always towards the bed and pillow), and also I think that the pillow might be a problem as well as the dust in the room? Not sure, but the water as a thinner sounds like a good solution. I also might think about getting a hypoallergenic pillow in the near future. Thanks for discussion.

Reflux is another ailment that causes sinus congestion for many folks. I might start out by looking into this before excluding a HUGE food group from your diet, Tai. Especially because I think you said you suffer from this?

Tai, along with sinus congestion, as a child I used to 'chain' sneeze quite a

bit (at night). My mom got me a foam pillow to replace the feather one I had and

the sneezing stopped right away. I've been a fan of foam ever since and I'm a

side sleeper too :-)

Hmmm, that's a stumper. Maybe dander or dust duff? My foam pillow has a cloth

cover (pillow slip goes over) and probably doesn't get washed itself often

enough? Would be interesting to see if one could vaccum/shake the foam and

sponge it off to see if that helps? Happily its been a long time for me. What a

bother, hope you can find a solution that works for you all.

Regarding pillows. When I was a child I had asthma and had to have my pillow covered with a plastic, crunchy, noisy cover under the pillow case.  Now they have much improved protective covers(quiet).  Sandy

Tai, I no longer have any issues.  As a child I was sick a lot and had asthma real bad so was on a lot of meds and allergy shots, etc.  But I no longer have asthma.  My allergies are related to pollen now.  So I do not use a cover anymore.  Although it might not be a bad idea.  Sandy

Regarding pillows. When I was a child I had asthma and had to have my pillow covered with a plastic, crunchy, noisy cover under the pillow case.  Now they have much improved protective covers(quiet).  Sandy

 

Hmmm, that's a stumper. Maybe dander or dust duff? My foam pillow has a cloth cover (pillow slip goes over) and probably doesn't get washed itself often enough? Would be interesting to see if one could vaccum/shake the foam and sponge it off to see if that helps? Happily its been a long time for me. What a bother, hope you can find a solution that works for you all.

Tai, I no longer have any issues.  As a child I was sick a lot and had asthma real bad so was on a lot of meds and allergy shots, etc.  But I no longer have asthma.  My allergies are related to pollen now.  So I do not use a cover anymore.  Although it might not be a bad idea.  Sandy

 

Yes, but are you using a protective covering now, Sandy? I think I will get one anyway. Tai

Tai, yes it did, but they were noisy back then. I think my daughter might get some benefit from them too. Try it, it might help. Sandy

 

Sandy, does the protective covering help you? Tai
