Nasalcrom...I also used that, but not much and didn't suffer any ill effects that I know of. The main ingredient was chromolyn sodium, which was also used encapsulated in powder form in an inhaler. There were also capsules you could take for food allergies (these I obtained from UK) about 1/2 hour before eating. It was explained to me that chromolyn sodium works by coating the mast cells and preventing them from rupturing. It was very expensive, so I discontinued use after awhile. Guess I'm glad I did. :o) Sally sol <[email protected]> wrote: My allergist (consulted when I lost my sense of smell due to NasalCrom, told me in his opinion it should not even be on the market, as it is notorious for causing loss of smell. I have also heard the same about Zicam, as Cindy said. What I can't find out, but would like to know is the ingredients of Zicam (the nasal gel) Could anyone who has a bottle of it please post the ingredients list, or send it to me privately? TIA, sol
