I have "gustatory rhinitis". It's a nasal hypersensitivity to foods that
results in vasomotor rhintis
immediately after you eat. I, pathetically, have it after eating any food,
even toast in the morning.
It's somewhat senescent, in that it starts later in life. I tried
Ipratropium Bromide[anticholinergic drug (trade name: Atrovent] spray, from
my allergist. It didn't do anything.
There's nothing like free flowing clear snot!! At least you know you're not
infected. It does go away after 1/2-1 hour
