Yes, my asthma can get trigerred by indigestion, Gerd.
A burger and chips gives me massive indigestion, and therefore makes my asthma unhappy.
So light, easy meals keeps my asthma happier.
yes. Definitely!
I have converted to a largely fish based diet and have slowly improved. A bonus prize is losing 10 pounds in 3 months. Don't suffer with reflux or GERD due to being on omeprezole since March.
I have allergic asthma along with food allergies/intolerance. My diet is boring but relatively healthy as I cook most food from scratch. Many processed foods contain nasty ingredients and chemicals that my body doesn't like and I always know if I've eaten something that doesn't suit. Some flavourings in drinks are often the worse and can make me wheeze.
Definitely! I have non-eosinophilic asthma and an intolerance to omega 6 rich foods, which can be very high in processed foods, thanks to palm oil and soya. But add in sulphites and other preservatives and colourings and it's a no brainer to avoid both processed and ultra processed foods. I avoid alcohol too. Cook from scratch.
Dr Van Tulleken did a fantastic BBC documentary, What Are We Feeding Our Kids, and it explores the physical and neurological changes that take place over the course of a few weeks, but the effects in children are even more impactful, neurologically. He talks about this in another film which can be found on YouTube.
I'm 7 weeks into my relaunched eating plan (I occasionally fall off the wagon) and I've lost 7kg and only used my Ventolin once. Weight is a huge issue for my asthma, so I have to try harder to get on top of that. I was able to come off my LAMA inhaler 3 years ago, thanks to the eating plan, which was a goal as the medication gave me glaucoma.
