It could be a sign of eating right.  When i eat poorly i get flooding of mucus and lots of histamine release.  In dusty and moldy conditions my eyes burn more.  I also get more acid reflux.

In part, yes. My gunky sinuses and throat got much better when I started eating right, but this was just too much: uncomfortably dry.

I was in denial. I think yogurt still isn't safe for me. I'm going to quit it again for a while and see what happens.

Hi TJ...I was on lamictal many years ago; the tiny little pills, right? Anyway....that was when I was mistakenly diagnosed as Bipolar. Have you investigated eating okra or nopalitos (prickly pear cactus leaf?) both are excellent sources of mucilage.

I do feel for you. If there's any way else I can help please let me know. My boyfriend is a B and gets SAD each year, but he's not compliant by any means.

I just recently tossed grains out of my diet and this has cleared up 99% of nervous system/bodily triggers for a compulsive disorder I have.

We have a couple of reference books in the Eating Disorders Thread about how to improve mood through giving the brain what it is really crying out for. Both my mother, sister, grandmother, and 2 of my maternal aunts all had or currently have active mental disturbances due to brain chemistry and genetics.

Please check the thread out if you wish. All the best to you.

Seraffa- your boyfriend may benefit from taking vitamin D in the winter months. Even if he's not ready to change his diet, he may not object to taking an extra pill each day.

I wish they were tiny pills! BTW, mucilage ≠ mucus.

I forgot to add the licorice root capsules to my pill boxes last week. I've gone all week without it. No wonder I felt so cruddy... but I'm still not going to try yogurt again for a while. It has been essential in supporting my adrenals and keeping my Lyme inflammation under control.
