Is there an asthma doctor or a pediatrician in the house?
Author: okay - I have a 9 year old little girl and she has asthma. I know that it is springtime, so her allergies and asthma are acting up a little as well as mine. But, I have noticed the last 2 times when she has eaten chocolate, she has become very phlegmy. Is it coincidence or do you think that the candy bar could have something to do with it?
yes
it can….
feel free to ask
Sensitivities to certain foods have been reported to increase the frequency or seriousness of asthma symptoms or can trigger asthma symptoms. In particular, chocolate, milk, eggs, nuts and shellfish are the most common types of foods associated with asthma symptoms, but there are others as well
Thanks
