Is There A Correlation Between Weight Loss And Having Running Nose?
Any idea if there is a correlation to weight loss and having a runny nose when one eats? My daughter, @ 32y, had bariatric surgery and lost 140#. She noticed when she ate that her nose would run. In the last year @ 61, I have lost 70 pounds and recently have noticed the same thing. Just wondering

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There is no known correlation between bariatric surgery and rhinitis (runny nose).
The most common causes for rhinitis are acute infection ( common cold or flu) or allergies.
You may want to consider speaking to your doctor regarding your concerns.
I hope this helps
