Hi John,
I don't know about vegan ice-cream or cheese. I guess it must exist somewhere, but I don't eat any. I know there is soy yogurt to replace milk yogurt, and tofu to replace cheese in some occasions (like on pizza). But I'm no specialist for vegan milk replacement products. You probably can find a lot of info online though.
I have heard that spices actually irritate the mucous membranes present in the nose and sinuses. But I guess there is a difference between spices like pepper or chili (irritating) and mustard, wasabi or horseradish (freeing). I don't know.
I thought about pollution too. That could be a reason, but doesn't explain why it's getting worse in fall and spring.
PS: About the milk products: I doubt you'll feel any difference unless you completely quit all of them for at least two months.
