Food sensitivity? Having ton of mucus

[Pencil Case]

I am just over my mid-month point.  For NSV so far, my night sweats are for the most part, gone.   I have been sleeping like a baby, covers on.  That for me is a huge NSV.  But, I am discovering that something is my diet is filling up my lungs and sinus cavities with mucus.  It is not a daily occurrence.  Stating today, I am keeping a tight food journal.  Need to know what is triggering these mucus attacks.

Could it be that your body is now releasing toxins? Initially I had a runny nose and a lot of trips to the bathroom (not to sound gross). Are you drinking enough water?

Good morning,

It could be that my body is releasing toxins. All through the night, I felt like I was chocking.  So much mucus dripping in my throat.  Also today, I am bloated.  Seriously bloated.

Did you by any chance eat a lot of dairy prior to starting Whole30? I have been dairy free for 4 years and this is my first Whole30 since then. It used to make me very congested and since I used to eat a lot of cheese, it took awhile to get it out of my system.....the mucus and the cravings! Also my seasonal allergies have improved. Glad the night sweats are gone, that’s a great result!

Apart from a splash of milk or a piece of cheese here and there, I don't do dairy because I figured out a long time ago that if fills up my lungs.  Glad that I am not craving anything at this point.
