One thing I have become acutely aware of is that whenever I eat protein I get a clogged nostril, in the past my nostrils were so chronically shut (but without mucous) I never really noticed it. On a low tryptophan diet it's pretty much gone... I notice things which boost the immune system (beta glucan, vit. d, iodine+selenium) reduce nasal inflammation significantly, so I think it's immune system related somehow. Anyone have any ideas? Chronic infection in the nasal area somehow?
Mucous is usually undigested protein. (Wheat gluten is a protein that can also cause mucous.) Gelatin is a much easier to breakdown type of protein than other forms. Potato protein is good too. Gelatin is also very liver friendly, so would help strengthen its infection fighting ability. A good day for me is being able to breath through both nostrils at the same time.
