Hmmm. I really (honestly) hate to say this, but...that was the beginning of MY nightmare. Yet it was more than a trickle and within two weeks it no longer was a runny nose, but UNSTOPPABLE PND. (Fluid got much thicker, blockage in sinuses, and would not drain from nose, throat only - to the point of 24 hour convulsions.)

In my case, it's definitely parasites. Other causes abound, however. Highly recommend the Sinus Survival book, robert Ivker, D.O.. He also has a website:

Be prepared, though. Nearly half the content of the book is (for good reason) related to Candida.

See also Mayo Clinic findings on sinusitis circa 1999.

I'd also recommend NOT wasting any time or money on an ENT. They are as dumb as doorknobs, in my (blacklist) book and as expensive as it gets. I went (had to travel) to Cleveland Clinic and left with a script for Nasonex (a steriod which CAUSES Candida - even claims to cause it) and Nexium. This is the industry standard amongst most ENT's. I can't totally figure out WHY THEY DON"T READ!!

I failed to use either. Thank goodness I kept reading before dosing.

My nose gets runny when I eat too. No clue why, except I eat a TON of black pepper and cayenne pepper on almost everything I eat, which is kinda irritating to me sometimes.
