Ice Cream and Sinus Infections: The Link to Artificial Flavorings

Wow, 6 hours after eating half a cup of a Dairy Queen Snickers Blizzard, I had the beginnings of a sinus infection that lasted 6 days.

Believe it or not... yesterday I had a vanilla/chocolate dipped cone from Dairy Queen. Today, I'm miserable!! Sinus headache, post nasal drip... scratchy throat etc. I even went out and bought a cool mist humidifier. Out of desperation for what I feel lies close ahead, I decided to search the web for home remedies before heading for bed (to wrestle the body aches). Thankful to have found your site. Tomorrow, apple cider vinegar, here I come!!!

Wow, I couldn't believe what I read about the ice cream. I've had ice cream several times in the last week, and I have also incurred a sinus infection. That's the reason I was searching the web for remedies!

I was amazed, but not surprised to read about others who suffer flu-like symptoms after eating ice cream. I usually get a headache and increased sinus pressure from any milk product but the last time I was really sick was when I had eaten a Blizzard from Dairy Queen. That has been several years ago but I haven't forgotten how sick I was for a week or so. Milk products, in general, do a number on me but ice cream is especially harmful.

I couldn't believe it when I read the ice cream correlation. I am temporarily living in Italy and I find that I also have the same sinus infection reaction after eating locally made Italian ice cream.

Ice cream must really have a link to sinus infections. Last night I went to Rafferties Bar and Grill. I ordered a Mudslide. Of course it has alcohol, but another ingredient was ice cream. This morning I woke up with a sinus infection from HELL! I can't shake it. I hope that Apple Cider Vinegar works. I have a date this weekend. I'll let everyone know the details, about the AVC of course

This is weird, but I had a shake from Baskin Robbins on Saturday night, and the next afternoon I started getting symptoms of a sinus infection. I ran a fever on Monday, and today I can hardly breathe.

I recently had a sinus infection/flu-like symptoms 24 hrs after going to Baskin Robbins. I shared a sundae with my boyfriend and we both didn't fill well the next day. I just seemed to feel worse and for several days. I'm going to definitely try the vinegar!!!

i've had the nastiest sinus infection for the last 4 days... so bad I haven't been able to get out of bed... and I couldn't figure out what brought this on... I have decided that it was a mudslide that I drank on tuesday night... Thank you for all the information to helping me understand how I got this infection.

Wanted to let you know I had a similar icecream/sinus infection incident. We rarely get ice cream, maybe twice a year or so tops. This time it was Dreyers Rocky Road and I came down with a sinus infection within 48 hours of eating a coffee cup full.

When I eat Baskin Robbins Jamoca Almond fudge I break out in a rash over most of my body, this is also accompanied with an itchy throat and ears. My sinus' get congested too. When I eat Breyers (all natural ice cream) I don't have this problem.

I had no idea these two things are linked, however I had Baskin Robbins ice cream yesterday morning and today I have a sinus infection. I am 29 years old and this is my third sinus infection of my life.

I ate McDonald's ice cream on Monday and started having symptoms (that I remember) on Thursday. I am not sure if this would be related, but I haven't eaten McDonald's ice cream in years.

Oh my goodness...! I had a bowl of Black Walnut from Baskin Robins. I have the worst sinus infection ever. I am barely breathing.

My step father's birthday was a few days ago and I ate a baskin robbins cake and for the first time in my life I got a sinus infection and I don't have money to go to the doctors. To find that some ice creams are poison to the body makes me really mad.
