A Clear Pattern: Dairy Products Lead to Congestion

No headaches to report today, thankfully, but I'm again noticing that dairy is at least mildly problematic. As I've mentioned before, I've dramatically cut back on my use of milk and cheese. When I do have dairy products in my meals, I notice their effects. Yesterday's foods included the cheese in my lunchtime lasagna and one small slice of pizza with mozzarella at dinner. By bedtime, I felt a congestion that used to be a nightly occurrence but has disappeared since I cut out the dairy. It definitely comes back when I have a noticeable amount of milk or cheese in the hours before bedtime. This is a mild stuffy-nose kind of complaint, but the pattern is very clear for me. I breathe better when I keep my dairy consumption to a minimum. Unfortunate, but true.
