Mucus/Phlegm when eating

[bertybotts]

When I eat certain foods (usually whenever I have lunch or have something with carbs), I feel the need to clear my throat after it or cough a little. The cough sounds wet.
I think this is a reflux thing because I don`t get it with other foods. Like, I do not cough when eating cereal, vegetables, or light snacks.

is this dangerous?

certain foods cause phlegm in people.  it is just the way it is.

I get a lot of phlehm with dairy products (as most docs will say that is quite common) and someitmes with pastas.

ain't no big thing.

Same here, I basically eliminated dairy (with the exception of cheese on occasion) because it had that affect on me.

Yep I get the same thing as does my husband, perfectly normal.

Me too!

I get the same thing! This has never turned into a full blown HA attack for me though. I occasionally worry about it for a couple of hours but then I get over it.

You are completely normal. No worries!

I've had this for years...depends on what kind of food and is very irritating when eating with a group of people.
