The 4 hidden causes of persistent phlegm in your throat (& how to fix it naturally)

 

How do you know if a food allergy is your problem?

• Symptoms appear after eating. You might notice an increase in phlegm, an itchy sensation in your mouth or throat, or the need to clear your throat within minutes to a couple of hours after consuming a specific food.
• It’s a process of elimination. If you don’t smoke and have ruled out reflux and sinusitis, a food intolerance is a strong possibility. The best way to check is to completely remove a suspected food group, like all dairy or all gluten, from your diet for two to three weeks. For many people, this simple change can reduce phlegm by 100%.

If you see a dramatic improvement, you’ve likely found your trigger. If you’re unsure what you might be allergic to, it’s best to work with a doctor or an allergist who can perform tests to help you identify the specific culprits.
