Productive coughs after eating seem to come with the territory. Since I've been practicing almost complete clearance, productive coughs after eating are less of an issue. The downside is that it's time consuming and somewhat exhausting. The upside is that I cough less during the day including after meals.

What do I mean by near complete clearance? Until mucus turns the faintest color of pale yellow to white or clear. More often pale pale yellow and small amount, 1/2 penny's worth! My 2 cent$

Speaking of mucous production, do you know what measurable amount by just observation of what is coughed up is considered a lot? or moderate? or small? I see talk about coughing up a lot of mucous but how much is that? Is there some "standard"?

My experience the same as Scoop. However it is not always within my control to do complete clearance. Sometimes the mucus does not come up as easily as other times no matter what I do. I have to experiment with different "natural remedies" to see what helps. I do spend a long time at clearance. And clearance well after eating and before the next meal.
