Excessive Phalgm accumulation after eating

Immediately after eating my throat gets full of phalgm n I keep clearing for hours before it settles down. I find difficult to sleeep for many hours after my dinner. I hv to go to yhe washroom every 2-3 minutes after I hv lunch or dinner. Doctors take very lightly to my suffering. I do not think they understand my problem properly. Pls help.
I am not suffering from cold or cough disease. This problem arises only after food intake.
I am 44 years old woman, active n do not suffer from any other disease

I get mucous in throat after eating anything. Been getting worse. Causes me to gag cough and throw up at least every other day. Doc gave me Omeprazole. Doesn't help.  It's consuming my life. Last year I was tested for allergies and had an upper and lower G.I.,, I was okay. But allergic to peanuts and tomatoes.
Sometimes I think its from gas or constipation.
First diagnosis, they thought I had congenital heart failure. I went to heart doctor. All checked okay.
It's annoying to my family as well. I can't seem to go to restaurants without getting sick, and get sick and mucousy after meals at home. So annoyed with this that I drink a lot of water and not eating as much.

Most probaly a food-allergie.
I found out that I am allergic to eggs, diary, etc.
When I avoid de allergic foods -- no problem.

I have a similar sort of problem, except mine is not as severe.  I have to blow my nose and cough up a big wad of mucus anytime after I eat something.  

If I were you I would try to go to a ENT or your primary care doc and ask for a prescription for nexium or prevacid or some kind of GERD medication.  So many doctors have told me that symptom is because when you eat that it causes acid to come up in your throat and irrates the sinus lining causing excess mucus. I wish this was the problem with me, but I tried the prevacid for almost two weeks with no improvement.  

Might be worth a try.
