Why does my throat have a lot of mucus after eating greasy or fast food.?

Answer 1

Where I live it's called having a Post-Mexican food cough. One good cough and it's all cleared up. The reason you need to cough is because there is a lot of fat/grease in the food you just ate. In high fat content foods like fast food, Mexican food (Tex-Mex, not authentic Mexican food), tends to cling to any drainage/post-nasal drip/mucus/etc that's already in the back of your throat and make it thicker. It's the thickness of it that makes it necessary to cough. The same thing can occur in any high fat food, even ice cream.

I hope my answer didn't gross any one out.

This book is probably the most informative and practical guide on the subject of acid reflux and heartburn that I have ever read https://tr.im/acidrefluxnaturally
I was prescribed Lansoprazole which was brilliant but after two years of aching joints, extreme muscle pain which the doc gave me cortisone jags for, with some research I discovered the drug Lansoprazole was causing these rare side effects but it was I who diagnosed it NOT my doctor, I came off the drug 2 months ago, changed my diet and discovered just eating an apple stops any acid reflux, I eat an apple before bed, brilliant no acid, any time I feel the slightest sign of reflux I simply eat an apple. Apple juice is not that good nor is anything else I have tried including honey at stopping reflux.

Answer 4

Very odd question, but it would have a lot of mucous depending on the type of oil the food is being cooked in. Trans fat can leave a waxy taste or flem in your system after intake. That's why you see all of these new "no trans fat" food products.

Answer 5

Maybe the food is extra greasy from animal fats. Drink some water, swallow, and worry about more important things.

Answer 6

you could be allergic (even slightly) to soy, if the food was cooked in soybean oil

Answer 7

maybe acid reflux
