Try using goat’s milk and goat’s milk products such as Nanny cheddar, goat’s butter & cream as it is much easier to digest and does not encourage the production of mucous in the system.
St Helen’s Farm and Delamere both have an excellent range of goat’s milk products.
If you enjoy coffee, source naturally decaffeinated beans. My current favourite is from

Try sprouting your own seeds and beans. They are very high in vitamins and minerals and there is research to show their value in improving and maintaining your immune system. Either buy them ready sprouted at your local heath food shop or sprout your own www.sproutingseeds.co.uk.
