Is diet a contributing factor to hayfever and if so what should be avoided?

Some people do find that cutting out wheat and dairy products can help, these foods tend to be mucus forming and may be a contributory factor.

Having a good varied diet would be a good idea and remember to drink plenty of plain water as dehydration could make symptoms worse.
