ill after eating

[kittywen]

Hi  i feel a restriction in my throat after eating and feel ill until the food has made its way out of my system. I shiver teeth chatter and feel unable to breath with loads of mucus.  Doctor puy me on antibiotic for 6 days was fine i have come off them and back to square one. I have underactive thyroid and it feels like my throay is swollen

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
This feeling can be due to post nasal drip, if you have recurrent cold and sinusitis. It can also be gastric reflux due to weak esophageal sphincter or due to hiatal hernia. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food. Walking around also helps clear gas. It can also be an allergic reaction to something you eat. Hence you may need food challenge test.
Since I cannot examine you and know other related conditions you may be having, nor is a detailed history possible on net, I have listed the various possibilities that should be looked into. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
Take care!

Is it all food or just some food. Have you been tested for food allergies. I have mild food allergies to peanuts, wheat, milk and eggs. When I eat peanuts my mouth burns and feels sore and then I get horrible stomach cramps followed by severe diarrhea, when I eat wheat I get sick with stomach cramps and diarrhea, when I eat eggs my throat feels itchy and swollen, when I eat diary products I have a hard time breathing and can get sick enough to vomit because of all of the mucus production.

thank you but my doctor thinks its stomach related

Have you been to an Otolaryngologist?  I'd ask for a referral.  Sounds as if your thyroid gland is swollen, but then I'm not an "ENT" ... Good luck.
