Question:
why does my nose run when my food doesn't agree with me??
When even I have a reaction to a food that for some reason or another isn't making me feel good. My nose runs and runs and runs . I can use alot of tissues until the espsoide passes . What is the correculation to eating and no feeling well and ones nose running??? — grneyed4u2 (posted on September 4, 2007)

Sorry I can't give you any help but I just wanted to tell you that my
husband's nose runs every time he eats -- whether it's what he likes or
doesn't like. He hasn't had WLS but is diabetic. Are you? It might have
something to do with that.

I have the same problem. I'm almost 8 months post RNY, and when I have to
"visit the sink" to get rid of something that won't go down,
my nose runs a lot. I, too, have been wondering. I'm not a diabetic.

It has to do with the vagus nerve. CAlled "gastric rhinitis",
meaning basically, irritated nose cuzza the stomach. Many of us get that
when we are full, or nearing full. Like it hits the "nose"
swtich at some point. Annoying, huh?

Hi im am a diabetic & 13 months post op & i have had this happen
from the start. it happens when i get full. it doesnt matter if it food
or liquid..... my nose begins to run & i get really stuffy like i have
the worst cold or i am having an alergic reaction to something. Its like
this is my bodys way of telling me i am not doing the best thing for
me....so i just stop what ever i am eating & it does pass , at first i
ignorred it & kept eating or drinking & it took a long time to
pass, but know i stop instantly,& it goes away in about 15-30
minutes.... best of luck....Barbara

I have heard of this before, but you know what, I have never had that
problem and I do eat to over full sometimes. Strange? You think my nerve
there is missing, maybe why I haven't done so well with the gastric bypass?
