If you have an irritated throat, chronic cough, mucous in your throat or just a feeling of something being caught in your throat- this possibly can be SILENT REFLUX.
It is important to exclude possible dairy intolerances as this may also cause mucous in the throat as well. Whey protein which is part of dairy is the biggest intolerance I see on food intolerance testing. I am however a big fan of butter and this is usually well tolerated, even in my dairy intolerant patients.
Lastly, when looking at the above symptoms, It is also important to exclude possible thyroid issues as this can cause a hoarse or sore throat as well.
