Are you eating straight oil, or using it as part of a mixed meal, eg to fry something, or as part of a dressing?
RBD or virgin oil?
Some people find excesses of the oil to upset digestion.
A few people may be allergic to the proteins in the unrefined oil.

I just fixed my OP, Yea straight MCTs. No palm and whatever. i eat it with my one huge meal.

I started eating coconut oil right when i switched my diet to eating more fats. before i ate none and only carbs...

I've not used MCT, but I've heard of some people having digestive trouble with excess. Could try having a bit less?

MCT oil is anti-bacteria in the gut, so that might give you gut issues. If that is the case, you just have to slowly increase the dose to increase your tolerance to it.
If it's irritating your throat, it might be causing a allergic reaction for you. Maybe try another brand?
People also report less irritation if they mix the MCT with another oil/fat, such as coconut oil.

MCT oil is not good, it's very irritating
