Exercise induced gustatory rhinorrhea?

Hey everyone,

Kind of a weird question here. Ever since I started dieting/exercising and losing weight, my nose runs constantly when I'm eating. It's super annoying and semi-embarrassing if I'm eating with others. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? I never had this problem before and it's definitely frustrating. Thanks for your help!

    are you eating spicy foods? do you have allergies? have you got a cold?

    if no to all of those ...try a nasal spray like otrivin half an hour before you eat.

    No constantly, but it does happen most days......but only if it's hot food. Strange....

    I would be careful with the medicated nasal spray. You don't want to use it for more than three days in a row as it can cause rebound congestion.
