coughing after eating....

[DeannaM0918]

It seems that whenever I go to a restaurant to eat -- five to ten minutes after I am done eating -- I end up coughing hard to the point that it feels as if I am going to throw up. I have a black pepper allergy - and make sure to speak with the executive chefs to assure that nothing has it in it. I also have been diagnosed with acid reflex as well as my throat spasming when I swallow food. I have spent a lot of time fixing my diet at home. I know that I need to go to a doctor but has anyone else experienced this?

I work in a fancy restaurant and there are all kinds of different spices in the food.There is also black pepper in many different sauces and seasonings.You would be very hard pressed to eat out and not get black pepper in some degree.Even if you go to a hamburger joint most will have some black pepper mixed into their meat to season it.
