I'm dead serious.  I don't have a cold or allergies.  But when I eat, my nose runs.  LOL. What is up with that?  I just wondered if anyone else experienced this.  I feel really stupid asking this , but just wondering.  I could understand if I was eating hot soup or something steamy, but yogurt???? Anyone else???

it has to do with your vagus nerve. I know for me and my husband, it tapered off after awhile thank goodness

Well, alrighty then!  Lol.  It's nice to know that I'm not alone and there is a reason for it!  Thanks a bunch!

If my husband or friends hear me sneeze three times, they declare, "You're full!"  Once while at a restaurant I sneezed six or seven times.  The little boy in the booth behind me started sneezing.  He was just a little guy and probably thought it was funny to hear so many sneeezes in a very short time.  His parents were mortified to think he was mocking me, but I thought the whole thing was funny, too.

I read somewhere that it's called "gastric rhinitis". Some connection between the upper respiratory system and the gastrointestinal system. I had the nose running for a while, but like one other post said, it's tapered off now at 18 mos out.

Yes -- it is one of my 'soft stops' ---- a signal that I have had enough.

I think that it is related to the pressure that food puts on the upper stomach/pouch.

I'm a sneezer.  I get to full and I sneeze.
