Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 I've been told by someone (I think this may have been Heidi) that sometimes people get a little " drippy " after eating a food which is something called a " nerve reaction " which is not an allergic reaction. I looked into this because when I eat coconut oil my throat feels really weird and my sinuses start to drain and my lymph nodes swell a little. There's not a lot out there on this, but it did also seem that some people get some involuntary quivering (sort of like the lower lip quivering before crying) in the throat as part of some kind of " nerve reaction " to some foods. It's not any kind of Ig allergic reaction and it seems to not cause any other problems other than the quivering or nasal leaking. Katy > > > Later I tried WFN coconut cream.
