Dairy
Victoria in Salt Lake City, UT USA -
I had horrible asthma throughout my childhood and into my 20s. I quit eating all dairy products including yogurt, cheese and anything that contained whey or other small amounts of dairy products when I was 28 yrs old.
Within 3 weeks I was able to discontinue taking all the medications the doctors had put me on including inhaled steroids, salmeterol and albuterol. A year later I took up cross country skiing without meds. It is difficult in American society to avoid ALL dairy products but it has been well worth it for me. When I cheat and have something containing dairy it doesn't always cause immediate asthma but it does make me more susceptible to other allergens and if I cheat more than a little, I return to having difficulty breathing within a few days.
I have found that my allergy is to the protein in milk and NOT the lactose. Soy cheeses often contain milk protein called "casein" or "caseinate." There are lots of great substitutes for ice cream, yogurt (Silk and SoDelicious are the best), sour cream and cream cheese(Tofutti), and cheese (Vegan Gourmet). Breath easy........

What are you eating?
Patricia Morgan in Concord, NC -
Serious, on-going asthma symptoms have affected me for over ten years. After trying lots of natural remedies I started looking at my diet. Through a process of elimination I have determined that wheat and gluten are the cause. Not sure which yet. But I find if I stay away from both...although it's not easy, my asthma symptoms are almost non-existent.

NEBULIZER or SALIENE
Aleshia in Idaho, ID USA -If your qualified for an inhaler, you should invest in a nebulizer machine, they are inexpensive and very much effective. You can get saline (distilled salt water) packets. Its a forced mist in your lungs, which forces expansion, and when your asthma is at it's worst your doctor can perscribe you a bronchial inhibitor along with an albuterol steriod, to expand them further and relase the adheased conjestion.
It seems to last much longer than any inhaler, and that can mean weeks... atleast for my son anyways!
Some states may very, however, you may not even need a rx to obtain one, check your local pharmacy.

Drink Lots of Water
Anonymous in Seattle, WA USA -A friend of mine who had suffered with asthma and had been on steroids multiple times a year for years finally went to a naturopath who studied her diet and found she wasn't drinking enough water! Once she started drinking 8 cups a day as recommended, she was able to stop her meds entirely and now 2 years later...still has not had an episode that requires steroids to stop her coughing.

Asthma quick relief
Jocelyn in Cincinnati,OH -If you don't have an inhaler or you just want something not drug related try taking 3 Altoids for quick relief from an attack. The Altoids are so strong until they immediately open up your airway.
