Phlegm in throat

Date: December 14, 2006 06:30PM Hello! I've had this problem with phlegm in my throat for quite some time now (have been living on vegetarian/vegan cooked food for several years) and I'm almost certain that it is the food that is the cause for this. Now I have eaten raw food for 4 days (and a dinner), but it doesn't feel like it disappears! This is really a pain for me, bugs me alot!
Is there anyone who recognize this problem? Re: Phlegm in throat

Date: December 14, 2006 06:45PM Can you tell us more about it? Is it constant phlegm in your throat? Are you aware of it when you swallow? Do you notice it more after eating/specifically after eating certain foods?
We're more likely to be able to help you if you give us more information - and most help that we can give will be sharing of our personal experiences. My experience is that I get phlegm in my throat if I eat a lot of fat (especially unsoaked nuts or seeds), or if I eat a lot of spices. I really can't tolerate onions or garlic - they make me feel ill - but if I do ever eat any, there's a fairly instant mucus reaction. I love hot chili peppers but they also cause some mucus - although they tend to make my nose run rather than my throat. If I experience mucus when eating just fruit, it usually feels like it's connected to anything spicy I might have eaten in the previous few days being detoxed out. Usually when I eat just fruit and greens, which is most of the time, I don't experience mucus. Do you notice it's affected by weather at all? Doing breathing exercises may help also - eg alternate nostril breathing. Hope this is some help! love Ela Re: Phlegm in throat

Hmm..I do tend to eat a lot of garlic and onions.. Maybe I should try excluding them for a week or so, see what happens! Thanks for the tip! The phlegm that I've got is sort of stuck in my throat, I can't get it out no matter how hard I try! It is there all the time, when I swallow, when I breath, anytime and anywhere! Never noticed any difference because of the weather, since I got it probably 99.9% of the time. (But as I said, I like both garlic and onion very much, so they tend to pop into the food every so often....) Re: Phlegm in throat

let us know! love Ela What is Mjauu? Re: Phlegm in throat

Date: December 16, 2006 05:08PM Yeah they have always been like that...it's all about money and less about community!
After seeing your poor treatment I posted on there asking what everyones favourite raw foods were and guess what everyones favourite foods were FRUITS!!! it's so stupid to outlaw all talk about fruitarianism when it's actually a part of everybodies lifestyle!....but I guess strict Fruitarianism isn't profitable enough! I ran a Fruitarian forum for a couple of years and personaly I wouldn't bother with anything that is strictly Fruitarian because it will be a lonely place....from my experience it's better to get comfortable with yourself as a Fruitarian rather than trying to seek out others because for some reason fruitarianism seems to also attract the loonies!!! the only Fruiti forum I would recommend is fruitarian worldwide network, I know the guys there and they are good guys and the only fruitarian website I would recommend is www.fruitarian.com this site is the best you'll find on strict fruitarianism also I have a Rawfitness & Outdoors forum that is open to non-raw vegans, raw vegans and fruitarians but we don't encourage focusing on the food talk/aspect we like to focus on getting fit and making the best out of the raw lifestyle through exercise and support and I myself will always help anyone serious about going Fruitarian but as I said it's all personal choice....hope you find what your looking for!

Date: December 18, 2006 02:41PM Yeah, I saw that stupidness. "Peppermintpatty" thinks shes really something because shes a moderator on there.
I hadn't been on rawfoodtalk.com in ages, it seems like there is too much elitism there for me at times, this site and fruitarian.com are much better. Re: Phlegm in throat

Yeah...it's a business isn't it.....its all about grooming people to be supporters/followers so they will spend their money on her dvd's and products and now her restuarant....anyway don't get me started.... It's a real shame because what we really need is more supportive community driven forums.... Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
