Can consuming a lot of meat cause an excess of mucus? is meat known to be a mucus causing food? recently switched from being vegetarian.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is not known that meat causes your body making more mucus. However if you have indigestion, consuming a large amount of meat might worsen your reflux symptoms or worsening indigestion causing more mucus production from acid reflux.
