What Causes Feeling Of Irritated Throat Post Intake Of Bananas And Nuts?
A few days after I eat bananas or nuts (primarily pecans or peanuts) it feels like something is stuck in my throat. Over time, maybe by day three, I cough up a very small mushy brownish color thing that smells like horrible bad breath. If I leave it out to observe it for a few hours it becomes very hard and still smells awful. On a few occasions, I felt it in my throat by day three and it would cause me to cough it up a few times, especially after brushing my teeth and gargling -- I gargle hard because that seems to make it come up. It seems to only happen when I eat bananas and nuts as I mentioned. No other health problems or concerns. I am a little over weight for my height, but basically active and enjoy walking outside and on treadmill at least three times per week. I am 56 years old, African-American woman. Any idea what this is all about? Thank you for your kind help.
The banana is usually not associated with throat ill effects in almost any cases, rather it makes to sooth the irritated throat. However, I have came across many number of patients who get allergy type feeling or sensation through ingredients of nuts as soon as they consume them in form of: - Nausea - Burning or discomfort throat - Upper abdomen discomfort - Skin eruptions - Breath holding spells - Others
I would recommend you to consume only banana and report me later on what happens in regard to irritation of throat.
