does ghee cause cough - #25407

Natalie

I am feeling a bit confused lately because I've been coughing a lot, and I'm trying to figure out if my diet is causing it. A little backstory: I recently started using ghee in my cooking because I heard it’s super healthy and aids digestion. At first, I felt great, but then this persistent cough crept in. It’s kinda strange, right? I read somewhere that dairy can cause mucus build-up, but ghee is clarified, and I thought that means it’s different. I’ve also been sneezing and feeling kind of congested. There's this nagging question in my mind: does ghee cause cough? Like, can it really affect me that way? I’m trying to be mindful of what I eat, but I love using ghee for its flavor! Should I take a break from it? Or is there a way to include it in my diet without triggering this horrible cough? I’d love to hear what you guys think, especially if you've had experience with this!
