Hey Rose, thanks for the informative reply. Right now as part of my 30 day of trying vegetarian project I've also decided to try drinking soy milk over milk. As for ice cream and cheese, I may consider giving those up in the future.
Are there soy or or varients of cheese and ice cream available to vegans? Do they taste simliar?
And Rei, thanks for the suggestion. My wife is from Sichuan province in China so our diet is already HUGE in spicy food. I'm nearly at the point where I can't eat anything that doesn't have some spice. Said, in Chinese medicine doctors frown upon eating a lot of spice as it contributes to the internal fire. I've been told the opposite by my doctors here - that I should in fact cut out spice from my diet.
Honestly, I'm not sure what to believe. Where did you get your information from? Has this worked for you in the past?
As for the Neti pot that will be next on the list of things to try if my symptoms return. For the moment I'm breathing clearly and getting excited for my first marathon in two months from now.
