Gustatory rhinitis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1444753396

Distinct non-allergic, non-inflammatory rhinitis phenotype in which symptoms follow ingestion of certain (often hot and spicy) foods. Stimulation of the non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic, or peptidergic neural systems may be involved, but its response to anticholinergic treatment could also indicate that this entity represents a hyper-reactive state of efferent cholinergic reflexes.
