Milk Mucous and Snoring

Although snoring is caused by the noise of air trying to pass through an obstructed airway – and that is the same for everyone who snores – the cause of the blockage can vary from person and because of this different snoring cures have different rates of success with different people.

Dairy products, in particular cow’s milk, are known to be very mucous forming and can be at the root of many respiratory problems. For this reason the persistent snorer may consider eliminating dairy products from their diet to see if their condition improves.

When excess mucous is being produced as a result of an intolerance to milk and dairy products it has to go somewhere. Sparing you the graphic details you will understand that whilst you are awake you will sneeze and blow your nose at regular intervals to clear the build up of mucous. At night, whilst you are sleeping, the mucous builds up and obstructs your airways, causing you to snore.

How many of us go to bed after a little snack of cheese and biscuits or a glass of hot milk or some form of milky drink? After all, everyone knows, milk is good for us, right? Well, it is true that milk does contain a number of nutrients but all of these can be obtained from other sources and should be obtained elsewhere if the ingestion of milk is causing an allergic reaction.

If you are a persistent snorer and your doctor has ruled out any underlying medical condition that might be causing you to snore you may want to consider eliminating dairy products from your diet for a month to see if the situation improves.

Elimination diets are very safe provided you are sensible. If you are in any doubt it is best to seek medical advice but basically you just need to ensure that you still get the nutrients you need from alternate sources.

In place of dairy products there are rice and soya alternatives. Nut milks are also available but it is probably worth avoiding those initially as nuts are also known to cause allergic reactions in those who are sensitive.

When you try elimination diets to test for sensitivities it is helpful to keep a food diary to monitor your responses. After a month of elimination you can try introducing foods back into you diet, one at a time, to see if the snoring returns or goes back to previous levels.

Of course, it is very difficult to self monitor for snoring! If you have a willing partner you can ask them to score you on a scale of 1 -10 where 1 = little or no snoring and 10 = unbearable levels of snoring. If you have no willing partner you can try using one of the little voice-activated recording devices to record your snoring whilst you sleep in order that you can make a self assessment in the morning.

Whilst bearing in mind the need to obtain all essential nutrients from your food, it is worth eliminating milk and dairy products from your diet to see if your snoring improves.
