The flowering period is difficult for those people who suffer from pollen allergies.

To avoid worsening the symptoms of hay fever, doctors recommend excluding certain foods from the diet.

Dairy products

Some experts believe that cow's milk is a mucus-forming product, although there are no studies to confirm this.

However, those who have been diagnosed with an allergy to milk protein or intolerance to it should avoid dairy products during the period of raging seasonal allergies.

Foods High in Histamine

Increased histamine levels are found in foods such as fermented foods and drinks, dried fruits, some types of fish – herring, anchovy, salmon, tuna, sardines, tomatoes and citrus fruits, mango, grapes, bananas, chocolate.
