Default Sinus help!!!

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum.

I have a question.

I have had sinus congestion most of my life. If one side of my nose isn't stopped up then the other is! By ridding myself of all grains will this help my sinus problems. I'm not sure if I have an allergy or something. I've never been tested.

Just wondering if anyone with a similar problem has had theirs clear up because of the diet.

Thanks

Yep! Two weeks after starting to low-carb my nasal passages were clear for the first time in years, and they still are, three years later. Amazing!

I had lived surrounded by Kleenex up to that point.

Many people are allergic to the foods they eat the most and don't even realize it! Worse yet...often those foods which we crave the most are the ones that are the culprit!
Low carbing does so many wonderful things for your health...clearing up allergies might just be one more to add to the list.
