While agreeing that all of us respond differently to foods, I too would like to see a list of foods recommended for bronchiectasis and those to avoid. It would give us a starting place while being aware not all will work for everyone.
I avoid full fat dairy because those of us with bronchiectasis are at higher risk for heart disease and 5 out of 6 of my siblings have high cholesterol. (My lipid profile is ideal.) Greek yogurt seems to be available only on fat free of full fat. I use the fat free combined with 2% cottage cheese daily, since I also have osteoporosis. I don't notice that dairy increases mucus for me but remain uncertain.
If anyone has a link to the list, I would be grateful.

Hi Scoop
I myself follow the guidelines for foods to avoid with either Acid Reflux/Hiatal Hernia in consideration of what NJH believes to be a possible cause of, or that goes along with, Bronchiectasis, the Acid Reflux. My understanding is that part of the foods "they" say one should avoid for Bronchiectasis, sugary foods, fats, heavy salty foods are on the list for Acid Reflux.
I agree with you scoop, and with many on this site that have stated....trial and error....and as well common sense, personal choice.
So for me I do Greek yogurt. Sometimes full fat other times low fat. As we know dairy in some cases would be considered a no no if we relate it to a list to foods to avoid with mucus.
I also do salted nuts and seeds on a limited basis since I drink much water and liquid during the day. So yes, "each person's mileage may vary...in so many ways.
Thanks, always for sharing. You have done right by yourself and that is a big help also to us to hear your story.
