feeling allergies

Hello ever since i quit it feels like i have constant sore and tight throat, i've had a lot of acid reflux and the allergies also gave me a nasty ear pain.. I visited my doctors office and he said he cannot see a reason for why i have all these symptoms he tried to give me PPi's for the reflux but it didnt really work, then he tried to give me astma spray and tell me to buy antihistamines and it dosent work either, anyone experienced the same? im 3 months smoke free now:)

Hi Suptra. Congratulations on your 3 months smoke free. Are you off of all nrt's? Sore throat can be a side-effect of nicotine withdrawal, but you may be long past that stage. I really don't know, maybe someone else can help.
Good diet is important. I and my husband both quit cold turkey and even though we are eating better than ever (whole foods, fruits, veggies, oatmeal, quinoa etc) we get flatulence like never before. I am at 38 days, he at 21. We are hoping this passes soon. (no pun intended)
We were reading an article about magnesium which aids in over 700 functions of the body and a lot of people are deficient because so much is used in carrying toxins out of our bodies. We decided to start taking supplements to rid of the fluoride, mercury, lead and other harmful toxins . Yes, fluoride in water, air pollutants, chemicals and additives in foods...... all use more magnesium to rid of than we consume. We wanted to eat more of the super foods, but it is the magnesium that we chose to take rather than spiralea..(???its an algae) Turmeric shrinks tumors so i will be sure to keep taking that as well.
Wish i was of more help to your problem. Personally, i would stay away from drugs and look for answers through diet and natural remedies.

Hi Suptra, I have reflux really bad too. Ginger, I’m drinking ginger ale atm is helping me and Mylanta also Eno.

i actually got rid of my reflux its not the problem anymore :D i also suspect i found the cause of my allergies i live in a really bad vented apartment and i found black mold in the shower cabin, when i opened the door out there today it smelled very earthy, so i cleaned it with bleach and its like everything improved 200% kinda insane i felt bad for 3-4 months and this didnt come to my mind :/

Hello Suptra, are you eating different foods than you did normally? High sugar foods (incl dried fruit) can cause reflux, so can fatty foods and over eating.
Congratulations on your escape.
