Every time I eat, I get congested/phlegmy and I have to clear my throat or cough or cough for about 30 minutes after. What causes this? How to fix? I tried allergy meds, didn’t help much.

Thank you, I will!

Get an allergy test done. There are some mail order ones if you don't want to go to a doctor to do it. Food allergy is different than food intolerances if looking at a mail order food allergy test

Maybe you’re eating more spices than you’re used to?

Sounds like GERD.

Thanks, I didn’t know you could have GERD without heartburn.

Honestly? You might not be drinking enough water throughout the day

I experience the same thing and I’ve always wondered why! It’s only when I eat at Asian restaurants and usually with rice. But when I make rice at home, this never happens! I don’t think it’s an allergy (because I have an epi-pen and I know what an allergy feels like).

Have you noticed what foods/cuisines this happens to you with?

Yeah, as I understand it, the phlegmy cough can actually be caused by reflux (even if the feeling isn’t acidic or burning).

I don’t go to a therapist but this app made me realize why people find it helpful. Sometimes all I want is to talk about what’s on my mind, even if I know the answer or I’ve already brought it up and heard the answer or even if there is no answer. Just saying what I’m thinking about without any filters to people who don’t know me personally and shifting it from a discussion in my mind with myself to a discussion involving empathy from others. Thankful for this app.
