Mucous where?: If you mean sinus mucous or postnasal mucous then it's possibly allergies to something you are eating. Gluten, oils, but residue etc. Sometimes if you have a strong nasopharyngeal reflex (not reflux) then you could just develop mucous with eating. Same way your mouth runs when you're eating. If it mucous from the stomach then it could be that you have excess acid production worse with eating.
