Milk in TCM is said to cause dampness, which seems like what happened to you. I bounced around various diets before settling on the TCM one, which consists of about 6 oz of meat, some nuts, some legumes, 50% veggies, some healthy grains, etc. Obviously no processed food and organic where possible.
This sort of diet should sustain each organ system adequately without causing any major imbalances. I think in terms of acidity it does pretty well with the high amounts of veggies.

Diet is important, but I stopped looking at it as the main "fix". What really fixes stuff is pure energy, and meditation and yoga, as well as sunlight, provide the body pure energy more the food will, especially as you get more advanced. I think that is why Satanism doesn't have any dietary restrictions, because it doesn't matter after a point.
With enough energy, the body is capable of doing all the healing and detox it needs to do. Think of what food is, it is basically photonic energy when you boil it down to the basics. If you acquire this energy elsewhere, you don't need to rely so heavily on food. In that sense, the best diet would be one that isn't innately imbalanced, so as to support a good meditation practice. In your case, did the mucus impede your yoga or pranayama? That is what I wish to avoid. Take care.
