Runny nose when eating

Wondering how many others out there suffer from this same issue and how bad.
Essentially, every time I eat, whether it’s hot or cold, spicy or bland food, my nose runs, like a tap sometimes. Gets quite embarrassing. Again, some people can handle it, while others get annoyed. I’m sure I’m not the only person who suffers from this condition.
The medical people have not come up with a solution or a way to alleviate the condition.

    Gosh, that sounds uncomfortable.

    You've been to an ENT about it?

    So far, the GP’s have not referred me to any ENT specialist. Maybe, I will go and see the GP again and insist they send me to the specialists.
    Can’t find much useful explanation either on the Internet, but that could be because I’m not setting the right search criteria?

    I would definitely request an ENT referral. I get a runny nose if I'm eating something spicy, but have never heard of it occurring otherwise.

    Vasomotor rhinitis is nothing to clown about.

    If your nose runs, the terrorists win.
