Do you get Asthma or Chest Congestion symptoms after you eat?

Do you get Asthma or Chest Congestion Symtoms after you eat? Just curious if anyone else is having the same issue and trying to narrow it down on what's causing it. Any input will help.

I tend to get congested after eating something that contains sugar or milk (such as ice cream or bakery). I take a bit of apple cider vinegar with water and it helps with the conjestion.

All the time. Sometimes it does promote a productive cough.

The science says this is baloney...

You have food allergies is what brings the conditions on that you describe.

If you're taking cider vinegar and it helps then you have digestion problems. You can continue with the vinegar or talk to your doctor about it. If I were you, I'd continue the vinegar for as long as I could because the drugs they give you for your stomach may or may not work and if you have to pay for them yourself, they are expensive. When I was a kid I used to add a little bit of sugar and a little bit of baking soda. I know that sounds weird but it worked. You might also try putting down your fork between bites because you might be eating faster than you realize and you're gulping in air.

I get shortness of breath sometimes after I eat or drink wine! Especially if it’s a big meal. I believe my asthma is brought on by my silent GERDS/Acid Reflux. You may want to see if eating smaller meals help or taking something after you eat like DGL or Aloe Vera juice, Enzymes etc. helps. Research “ways to heal your gut” and you’ll find a wealth of information. Heal your Gut! Good luck!
