    It is food particles that have begun to form into a format for travel through your system. It is white mainly because it has already come in contact with the stomach fluids. It has the texture and color of Cottage cheese at this point. This is not medically dangerous and is sometimes caused by acid reflux, if you find it persistent, taking a tums or antacid chewable may subside the occurrences. You may be eating something like French Fries, too often, or breads commonly cause this. Best of luck, if your constantly bothered by this, or fearful, see your doctor about it, although there is little they can do, you will have to learn to let your food settle before getting to active and never eat too large of a portion at a time, your body cannot properly digest it.

    Sounds about right. I was going to say it was hardened mucus.
