Food Allergies Can Cause Sinus Headaches
Many people do not believe me about this. If you eat dairy of any sort, that means cream in your coffee, milk in your cereal, cheese, cottage cheese, any type of dairy, stop eating it and see if your sinus headaches go away or are relieved.
Dairy is a common food allergen. Lactose intolerance is a popular phrase these days and they even sell milk that has the lactose removed. That is not enough for many people. It is not the SUGAR in the milk that causes the problem, it is the milk proteins. Our digestive system does not make the enzymes we need to digest the type of proteins found in dairy. Cow’s milk is really designed for baby cows. When you eat a food that you cannot digest fully, you can easily develop an allergy to it. If you eat a food often, you are more likely to develop an allergy to it, even if it is healthy food.
I am not saying stop eating dairy products forever. It is very difficult to completely change your diet. There are other options.

Take enzymes that help you digest your food better. If you digest your food better, you are less likely to have an allergic reaction such as excess mucus. You can use digestive enzymes for this. There are broad spectrum digestive enzymes that will help you digest all your food better.
Vegetarian enzymes start the digestive process in your stomach. This takes a big burden off your digestive system. You would want to take a digestive enzyme formula that is high in protease, that is the enzyme that digests protein. It is the protein in the milk that causes so many problems.
In order to evaluate enzyme formulas, you should look at the units, not the milligrams. This product has very high levels of the necessary enzymes, as well as added ginger root to digest protein.
