I’ve said this before, but will repeat. Though Dr. McShane is helpful on many counts, her dismissal of diet as having a place in airway clearance is just not borne out by my own experience, nor by evidence from other reliable sources. Making major changes to my diet, and drinking lots of very warm water have been the greatest aids to keeping my airways as clear as possible.

I do not believe she dismisses it entirely, what she said was overall, there is no specific diet to follow, particularly with regard to dairy products (for years we were told to avoid completely, but research shows they do not affect all of us).
However, we all know Bronchiectasis is different for everyone, so individual adjustments are required. For example, if one has GERD special changes in timing of meals is needed, but it doesn't apply to everyone.
