Has anyone else noticed a reduction in allergies (non-food) after switching to low carb?
Absolutely!! All my life, I’ve sniffled and sneezed constantly. Now I live in the California Central Valley, where there’s a lot of farming, and everything grows well. That, of course, means pollen. Also, I have a cat– I dearly love him and I’m not giving him up! I used to use Vancenase. It kept the symptoms away, but I had to take it every day. After I’d been low-carbing for a couple of weeks, I started noticing that I was feeling jittery. This, for me, is a symptom of Vancenase overdose, so I tried not taking it. Lo and behold, I felt great! No symptoms! I have had to use the inhaler 2 or 3 times since then. However, those were especially high-pollen days– the kind where TV news warns people about them. It’s great to be able to pet and brush my cat without sneezing!

Not really.. As for me, the only thing that works well is some good and trusted anti allergy prescription drugs, for example. I would recommend that you have a look a those too, but also consult your doctor. Good luck, hope I was helpful to you here
