Need Help with Mystery Illness - Breathing and Sinus Issues

Dear Ted,

My wife has a strange disorder that completely affects the quality of her life. When she eats certain foods and the list is never constant, her nose suddenly gets clogged up and she has to blow her nose all the time as if she caught the flue or severe cold. Her nose just runs. Because this has been going on for a while she developed polyps. We went to many doctors in Ukraine and a few in the US (not too many in the US as they are expensive and we cannot afford them). In ukraine one herbalist told her to smoke chicory and exhale it out through her nostrils. This seems to have helped with the polyps and her breathing. Oh I forgot to mention that this problem has affected her breathing. She almost always breathes very heavily as if she is struggling to get in air, this is very noticeable at night.

Now in Ukraine one doctor suggested some of her symptoms might have to do with lactic acid. It seems to be increasing albeit slowly. Her symptoms usually worsen if she eats dairy products and at times sugary products. though the sugary products from the US tend to have a bigger impact than the ones in ukraine.

Nose Xrays and lung Xrays were done, they revealed nothing. Sinusitis was ruled out.

Another factor is that after eating food seems to be getting stuck in her intestines, many times she gets bloated. One doctor suggested IBS but again all these other symptoms started coming after the phelgm/mucous I. E runny nose. She has been suffering from this for now close to 10 years. Sometimes when she goes on a detox her symptoms get better or they go away temporarily but nothing has cured her.

We have tried very severe detox programs. limiting meat, diary, etc but while they have helped nothing has cured her.

Finally she cannot seem to take too much raw food as in lots of salads etc, they seem to irritate her digestive system.

Many years ago she was diagnosed with the Epstein Barr virus. I don't know if this is having some sort of effect, but recent tests did not reveal anything, maybe its dormant.

I would really appreciate some help, because when her nose gets blocked it runs for hours and she cannot talk or lead a normal life, Sometimes it gets so red it looks like its going to bleed because of the amount of time she has to blow her nose. I have seen her go through whole box of tissues in a few hours.

Any help you could offer would be appreciated. I am new member here. So could you tell me how I would check if you posted a reply.

And if you do offer consultations over the phone please let me know. I know you are very busy and any help you can offer will be truly appreciated.
