Feeling Throat Congestion While Eating. Excessive Mucus Production. Could This Be A Food Allergy?
When I eat certain foods I feel like there is a lump between my rib cage also the bottom of my throat. It feels like the food won't go down, like it is stuck. My body will produce excessive mucus, sometimes the food will come back up & I feel better. When this happens I feel like I couldn't even drink water without it coming up. Lately this has happen with fish. Yesterday it was with beets. I am on a mostly plant based organic diet. Thank you for your input.
