Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / November 2003Eating and postnasal drainage
Whenever I eat, I get copious amounts of postnasal drip. Soda and sugar products seem to be the worse offenders. A nurse claimed it was a reflex but that dosn't make sense to me. What causes this reaction? Thanks > Whenever I eat, I get copious amounts of postnasal drip. Soda and sugar > products seem to be the worse offenders.

Could be vasomotor rhinitis - might want to ask your doctor about it. >> Whenever I eat, I get copious amounts of postnasal drip. Soda and sugar >> products seem to be the worse offenders.

Eating certain foods, like cold or spicy foods, is a common trigger for vasomotor rhinitis. It doesn't mean that's what the poster has, but it's worth mentioning to the doctor if it hasn't come up in conversation yet. > Whenever I eat, I get copious amounts of postnasal drip.

Probably you have chronic sinusitis ot at least bad allergies.. When you eat, your metabolism speeds up, digestive juices and sinuses both start to flow and you get the drainage (of fluid that is *already* in your sinuses). > > Whenever I eat, I get copious amounts of postnasal drip.

There is also the possibility that the "drip" that feels like it's coming from your sinuses is really a reflus of stomach acid into the throat. Soda is one of the worst offendors for people with reflux problems.  SignatureLouise (louise2002@nyc.rr.com) > Whenever I eat, I get copious amounts of postnasal drip.

Out of interest do you get the same nasal drip when you are talking? >I have had the same problem for years and have finally decided to be >fed up with puting up with it.

Breathing irritants make it worse also. |
