Members connected over the question of dairy causing mucus and worsening fatigue, with many confirming they experience similar symptoms and have switched to almond milk as their preferred dairy alternative. Several members shared that specific foods trigger their fatigue, including sugar, fried foods, carbs, and sweets, with many recommending keeping a food diary to identify personal triggers and noting that small amounts of hard cheese or goat cheese may be better tolerated.
