I think LF is like you Bear 
Hmmm I have this customer in Kuching who told me cough is cannot
eat fish and not chicken
Funny thing is that after I followed what she said I coughed
less. Haha
But maybe I'm just weird like her.
That's really odd! I've heard of abstaining from Chicken
when one has a cough, but never heard of abstaining from
Fish!
And LF, you should avoid seafood except fish, and 'dirty' foods
like belachan, prawn paste, sambal belachan, etc. Heavily
preserved foodstuff, esp things containing saccharine and aspartame
should also be avoided.
I have Eczema too! 
At least, I thought I did, until it was
recently re-diagnosed as "Contact Dermatitis". The condition
came about during the SARS period where we had to wash our hands
with surgical-grade soaps all the time. The outermost layer
of my skin got damaged and somehow, up till today, it's extremely
sensitive to all soaps, detergents, and hot water.
