Nose running away!

Hi Everyone! I have not been on in awhile. I had surgery on Dec 3, 2013. Every single time I eat, my nose runs. Snack, my nose runs. In the beginning I just thought it was my signal for being full. Now I just ate a few raw carrots and it began to run. Do you suppose the portion left of our stomachs triggers this reaction to aide in digestion? I have not throw up very often, but the couple times I have it was just thick mucus and no food even though I had just ate. Thoughts on this theory? TY!

I have had this problem too.  I was told that it's caused by overstimulation of the vagus nerve that runs through the stomach. Any amount of food can set it off for me. It has calmed down a bit now but it was constant in the beginning.  

I get the same issue all the time.

Initally I was concerned it might be a full signal, but often the quantities of food involved couldn't possibly have set it off if that was the case.  I routinely measure out food and am real consistent in what I eat.  So I had/have a pretty good idea on that the quantities aren't pushing the envelop.

I just ended up ignoring it more or less and moved on.

Glad to see the other response, that would certainly explain it in my case.
