  Food allergy appears to play an important role in many cases of rhinitis, which is related to sinus congestion. In a study of children under one year of age with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma, 91% had a significant improvement in symptoms while following an allergy-elimination diet.⁵ In the experience of one group of doctors, food allergy was the most common cause of chronic rhinitis.⁶ Two other researchers have found food allergy to be a contributing factor to allergic rhinitis in 25%⁷ and 39%⁸ of cases, respectively. Food allergies are best identified by means of an allergy-elimination diet, which should be supervised by a doctor.
