Can chronic cattarrh and throat mucus be caused my food intolerance?

Very, Very unlikely!: Certain foods can thicken mucous/saliva more so in some people. You may be one. But what you described is not do to food intolerance.

Unlikely: Sounds like environmental allergies. Even food allergies do not typically cause these symptoms.
