thank you, making a list, too bad someone doesn't have a sensitivity test for these types of things

thank you, now looking at Naet test

darn it, I was afraid chocolate would be one - adding it to the list

I have sinus infection so getting a new nebulizer -- maybe that will hope. I cough so hard my insides feel like they are ripping. I make it 1 to 4 minutes only. Even tried taking a break but no luck. Thank you.

Thank you, Nicole - that is a lot of good information. If you don't eat eggs for breakfast, what do you eat?

Thank you - so thankful for all this info. I will try to do better at visiting. Jacksonville, FL, Mayo Clinic's pulmonary group is not taking appointments, sigh. They are suggesting Lakeland -I call every 3 weeks to Mayo Clinic. I am again on 3 big antibiotics, now a sinus infection so prednisone regiment and antibiotic amox for 10 days. Just seem to be weaker every time.

@bschaper2, The chocolate may do it because of the sugar content. It used to mess me up too. I switched the the 73% cocao and did well with that. Plus that kind has health benefits. I also want to add that I had intolerance to all of the foods listed in my prior posts, I mean BAD...! Now that my infection is totally gone, I have slowly reintroduced some of those things without a problem. (only in small amounts) I still cannot eat gluten very well, especially breads. I don't know if I am lacking an ezyme that breaks it down in my saliva or what. When I chew it, it does not break down, it turns into hard dough; like playdough and cannot be swallowed.

Hi nick52, No I don't have breathing problem. I used to walk 2 miles everyday until I hurt my foot. Now I haven't walk in 2 months. when I climb stairs I'm alright. My problem I get tired easy and sometimes I hear myself whissing. I don't know if that comes from not sleeping good or from the brochiectasis. When I was at NJH they did all the deglutition test on me. Dr. Huitt explained it about silent reflux that going on my lungs. Blessing to all. Cila

Thanks Terri M. have been felling well since I'm off on the big 3 but about a week now I feel that when I drink and eat hurts on my chest. I feel that it didn't go down in my stomach. Did you have this kind a problem before? Do you have acid reflux ? Thanks Terri for doing volunteer mentor. I miss Catherine! Cila

@cila , Girl, my heart still hurts over the loss of Katherine. Thank you so much for thinking of her and remembering all that she did for us. If you think you are having swallowing issues, you may want to have that test done that @nick52 has been posting. Yes, I have silent acid reflux. I follow the guidelines of no food or drink three hours before bedtime, and restrict acidic foods. That has helped a lot.
