If I do not eat all morning I am ok. Then try to eat a LITTLE bit and the BIG coughing starts. I have tried eliminating wheat, dairy etc. But still cough. Getting VERYfrustrated.!!!

    I have the same trouble. Eating usually precipitates my coughing. It's embarrassing if I'm around other people! So strange, it's not like I'm aspirating my bagel.

    For me, it's just another example of how our bodily functions are more connected than we know.

    Have you tried drinking a sip or 2 of warm water before you eat? Smaller bites, moist food only? What about soups?

    Talk to your docs.
