You can avoid allergic rhinitis symptoms by cutting out diary and diary related products, as advised by Gordon Jackson, a naturopathic doctor.
Dairy is a very common food allergy. It is much easier to avoid as compared to airborne allergens.
Here are the steps of what you can do:
1. Cut out all diary products including milk, chocolate, ice cream, cakes, cheese or just about anything that contains milk as an ingredient.
2. Continue with this elimination diet for a period of 6 weeks.
3. During this elimination period, you may consider other sources of calcium. You may also want to consider consuming soy or rice milk.
4. After 6 weeks, try dairy again.
5. Observe for any allergic rhinitis symptoms. These include runny nose and extra mucus. You may also experience achiness and tiredness within 72 hours after consuming dairy.
6. If you have allergic rhinitis symptoms, then consider giving up dairy and all dairy related products for good.
Tip: Even if you do not have classic symptoms of allergic rhinitis, you may want to reduce your intake of dairy products as they are known to create mucus in your body; thereby contributing to congestion and respiratory diseases.

You can also relieve allergic rhinitis by reducing the humidity levels in your home. Allergic rhinitis can be cause by dust mite droppings, and as the mites thrive in humid environments, the best way to control their numbers is to use a dehumidifier to control the humidity levels and stop them from reproducing.
Dehumidifiers can also be fitted with an air filter to clear the air of other spores and dust particles.
