Excessively throat-clearing = very annoying Anonymous
I'm normal weight and eat moderately well but for some reason I've really noticed over the last year that I have to clear my throat over and over after certain meals. It's annoying as shit, both for me and anyone within earshot.

In general, it seems to be caused by stuff like greasy food, fast food, milk, cheese, and so on. I'm not entirely sure but for instance I had a Wendy's chicken sandwich + fries + coke about 20 minutes ago (not healthy, I know) and I'm having to clear my throat literally every 30 seconds, sometimes even coughing.

Do you have any advice? I know I can avoid eating the things that cause it, but *why* is this happening so much to me now? I really like dairy especially and I don't want to quit consuming it if there's an alternative.

You have phlegm in the back of your throat and upper respiratory system. I suggest eating lots of spicy foods and running. Obviously don't run right after eating spicy shit, wait like 3 hours.

might be slight lactose intolerance.

You get an allergic reaction after eating certain kinds of food? Hmm, gee, lemme think.

What foods does it not happen with?

Try an elimination diet, or get an allergy test from your doctor. My doc said I had no problem with milk but he's a liar trying to kill me.
