Dairy generally does not get along with me well anymore, I recently did an allergen test and dairy, I am actually allergic to!

Eggs I can fare with, but if I eat dairy, I have to take an anti-histamine like Allegra, no ifs, ands, or buts. If I accidentally consume dairy without the Allegra, I am in trouble. Digestive problems come about and I get brain fog. For emergency situations, an epi-pen is carried around with me at all times.

My doctor has explained to me that after brain trauma, certain parts of the brain can change, even histamines, so to get an allergy after brain trauma like a concussion is not uncommon. It's a change of brain chemicals such as histamines and how they react to a certain food/additive.

What you are experiencing Mia, the phlegm thing, can occur with dairy products. Dairy products can affect sinuses, and sometimes cause post-nasal drip, aka the phlegm in your throat. Just giving ya a heads up, Mia. Hope you are doing well, girl!
