I get phlegm in my throat only after eating. what could be causing this?

Not sure: Causes may reflect dry food and insufficient water intake with meals (sip water between bites) or food allergies (see an allergy specialist and write down which foods cause this) or seasoning which causes nasal secretions/drainage. If you are a smoker, lung secretions can become trapped and eating may cause some movement. Hope these help, but see you family doc for a true exam. Good luck
