Coconut oil

I haven't been on here in forever. I have a question. has anybody ever eaten coconut oil straight out of the jar and had it irritate your throat? I did this last night and it made me cough and my throat was instantly irritated. Now I just woke up and my throat is still irritated with a scratchy feeling and I'm having anxiety about being sick now when I know it's just from the coconut oil. Just hoping it's not an allergy to it. I also drank roasted dandelion tea afterwards so now my overthinking mind is wondering what's going on with my throat and if the tea contributed. Ugh. drink this tea before though I don't think I had a problem. I've always had a throat anxiety.

I've googled it and other people have had this issue but they don't know why this one article said something about the low acidity in the coconut oil can irritate the membranes of your throat which doesn't make sense. The article seems kind of off but other people have had this issue. Doesn't say why though. So have any of you ever had this happen?

Hey there,
Something similar actually happened to me. It caused a quick bout of reflux for some reason and then my throat got irritated. The same thing happened with mayonnaise also once.
Sometimes your body reacts to things it never reacted to before.

I put it in my coffee in the morning a couple of times, and my stomach didn't like it. I think that can be considered straight out of the jar.
I use to cook food with it then that's usually no problem for me.

Sorry I didn't know I got any responses my email didn't inform me. I ate it straight out of the jar just for health benefits. Ha
