The REAL Cause of a Constant Phlegmy (Mucus) Throat

[@richardbarnes4283]

At 81 yrs I had this problem, gerd and constant mucus in my throat. My solution is a keto diet with very low carbs and one meal a day at 11am no snacks. Apple cider vinegar about an hour or so before I eat. Exercise walking 3 miles a day for 6 days a week along with very light weights 8lbs dumbbells work out 30 mins. Keep in mind age makes this exercise a little more difficult as the years go on.. God bless you all!

[@RyanHaleYT]

I used to suffer with this issue BIG-TIME. The symptoms I experienced (lump in throat, excess mucus, and regurgitation...god the regurgitation was awful) were so bad that they affected my sleep greatly. I would wake up after a "night's rest" feeling like I had slept for 20, 30 minutes tops. It honestly made life very difficult for me, and I was often at my wits end for what to do besides using antacids or PPI. I mean, for god sakes, I was 21 at the time, why does a 21 year old need antacids? But in a way, having this condition may have helped me take greater control of my health. At some point I was so fed up that I actually did some research into the root causes (like Dr. Berg) suggested and found that it could be diet-related, or it could be due to lack of stomach acid...etc. I guess I was a lot more naive then so it took me much longer to come to the conclusion that it was a problem I could fix through lifestyle modification rather than strictly medication. What I found, for me personally, was that food definitely had an impact. I used to consume a lot of protein powder after working out, and it certainly wasn't high quality. I cut that out, along with dairy. That provided a slight improvement. I then found out about the Betaine-HCL (Not sure if it was through Dr. Berg, can't remember) and I bought that as well. Started using that and again, after two weeks or so, saw more minor improvements. Well, that gave me a lot of hope. I tried to make my diet as clean as possible, just for one month, to see how well I could benefit. In addition, I began consuming a LOT of fermented foods, specifically kefir and sauerkraut. That seemed to have a HUGE benefit. Lastly, I also considered the fact that my gut lining was probably damaged due to terrible diet, medications, you name it. So I was taking "L-glutamine" for a good period of time in order to remedy that. That felt like a much slower change over time, but I do think it had positive effects. I also took Zinc Carnosine for a period of time. The combo of these pretty much gave me my life back. I'll summarize it below: -Cutting out certain foods (for me, dairy/protein powders) -Using Betaine-HCL with meals to improve stomach acid -Clean up diet (kinda goes along with the first one) -Consume fermented foods (Kefir, sauerkraut, etc) -L-glutamine (Positive effects on gut lining and repair) -Zinc Carnosine (for stomach lining) Hope that helps. I know I wrote a wall of text here but this issue affected my life for so long that I want to assist anyone suffering with this condition in any way I can.

I went through many of the things you went through. I just didn’t have computers when I was in my 20’s. So I didn’t really go that route. I was blind. I wish I had. I believe we’re all so conditioned to believe doctors. That they know better so we must follow what they say. They must have our best interest at heart. But honestly how can they? Through they years I’ve seen that people are just a commodity to them. A way to make a buck. When you knew their history, that for centuries they were just servants. Not the prestigious position they hold today. But the drug companies have improved the doctors reputation and have push this propaganda that only doctors know your body and what is going on and what is best for you. They say, “do as they say, they know best, you can’t know you haven’t been to medical school.” But people didn’t know that they were being duped by the drug companies. Even many doctors don’t realize that medical schools are influenced by drugs companies and that’s why they don’t even look at natural ways and food ways of healing the body. It’s disgusting. It’s all about money when you get down to it. While people are dying unnecessarily.

[@barbieskates540]

This may help someone reading. I had these symptoms and the Drs thought I had asthma and then GERD and then LPR. They kept trying to prescribe soooo much medication. I was miserable. Turns out after finding the most amazing Dr in Texas, I actually did NOT have asthma or GERD or silent reflux at all!!! I ended up having VOCAL CORD DYSFUNCTION (almost identical symptoms as what everyone kept diagnosing me with). There is a special test they can do to look at your vocal cords. After going to vocal cord therapy with a speech pathologist who specializes in this condition, my constant coughing, shortness of breath etc was fixed. It was a simple fix and seriously changed my life! There aren't many who specialize in this and clearly many Drs don't even know about this. The therapy was just special breathing and vocal exercises to heal my vocal cords. It took about a month and no medication needed. I was able to throw out the inhalers and the Prilosec and all the other meds Drs kept prescribing. Hope this helps!

[@tdginter]

A better diet will help prevent it from reoccurring, or some different issue developing in the future.

[@gwencunningham4297]

Wow! I would never have guessed this could be a problem. My daughter had issues that doctor thought was Gerd. She was put on Prilosec and that literally almost killed her.

Glad your feeling better. Did you ever spit up blood when speaking for a long time or post nasal drip when you were going through this situation?

[@DjStalin100]

Great video. I suffered from post nasal drip and daily mucus in throat for approximately two and a half years. I had this from 2002-2004 in my early 20’s. Doctors could not figure it out. They kept telling me I had an infection and required antibiotics. An infection was never the case. I’m 2004, an ears, nose, and throat specialist stated that before surgery consideration, she wanted to rule out fungus. She had me conduct a sinus rinse (Neti pot) 6 times a day for three weeks. Magically, the post nasal drip and excess mucus disappeared; it had killed the fungus. To this date I apply a sinus rinse daily in AM. Wanted to share my story for those that have have ruled out bacteria, allergies, and acids.

[@DjVortex-w]

Another non-digestive cause for chronic mucus production in the throat can be a nasal polyp. I suppose that was not your case because the ear doctor would have most definitely seen it when examining your nose. However, it was the case with me. For some reason general practitioners rarely examine the patient's nose when one comes presenting these symptoms, even though a nasal polyp is a known common cause, and the examination is very simple.

[@lindamartodam6014]

Another cause, especially for those over 50, is Hiatal Hernia, which allows stomach acid into the esophagus and throat. Stooping over allows this to happen more frequently. Before bed, try jumping off a small step (about 6 inches high) several times and forcing the stomach back down through the diaphragm. Also, a tablespoon of cider vinegar helps with the stomach acid.

The oral thrush affecting with chronic tonsillitis, frequent tooth aches, sinusitis, migraine, runny stuffy nose since my childhood days. All attributed to excess consumption of sweets, chocolates, cookies, pastries etc. The solution was to sterilise them with googling coconut milk in the mouth before brushing, keep your brush dipped in boiling water from reinfecting, such a mild mixture of coconut oil tree tea oil oregano oil few drops in your nose and apply them in war too using buds. Later do through liver/gut cleanse and drink kefir yogurt to recolonise your gut with very strong probiotics. All symptoms vanish permanently.

Good stuff. I have had GERD for 40+ years. I initially used OTC meds which helped but, in my 40's I was prescribed omeprazole which worked really well. I too have noticed increased issues with breads eaten later in the day triggering acid overload. Recently, my wife has started making home made bread ground from raw wheat berries that become flour minutes after grinding and go right in the oven after three hours of rising. Strangely, ZERO acid effects after eating this nutritious version of what bread is supposed to be. Lab tests report most of the wheat products sold in grocery stores have little or no nutritional value (because they are made from flour ground weeks or months before use which has little nutritional value) while fresh-ground home baked items retain their full nutritional value for a couple days after baking. Great discussion. Keep it coming!

There is one very important missing reason Dr. Berg that should be mentioned here. When you have an accident and you create a trauma reflex out of it (saving down the wrong compensation patterns that your body automatically does if one part of the body doesn't work), this will create an asymmetry of your entire body. In very severe cases, as it happened for me, this will strongly affect your throat, jaw and even ears. After my accident many years ago, where the doctors could not rebuild my anatomy as it is supposed to be, my body changed so much over the years that my throat on one side got pinched so much that there was literally no space left in the throat. I had a lump in my throat the entire day for several years, and no one would believe me that it was due to the accident because it sounded so strange that an injury in your leg could do that. After we fixed my leg 12 years after the accident, my anatomy got back to normal, my symmetry slowly changed back over the coming years and the lump in my throat disappeared ever since big time. And just to add: Mucus was just one of many symptoms I got due to this injury. I lived 5 years with a sudden hearing loss + tinnitus on one ear, simply because my jaw was surpressing my hearing nerves due to a wrong posture. It went away together with all other problems once my body started healing. Almost every single doctor over the years told me that I was a case for the psychiatrist.

Dr Berg, thank you for all your videos. I was drawn to this one, because I have had the problem for more than 30 years. Unfortunately, I have no symptoms on your list except the mucus and a runny nose. My allergies have been completely tested, I have absolutely none. I also had an MRI of my sinuses, which showed a moderate infection, but the ENT saw nothing. When she looked, I have found relief however, in an unusual way I read an article about bromelain which is found in pineapples. I ate a half a can of chunky pineapples the very day I read this article. The next morning I cleared my throat and to my surprise, it brought up a mouthful of mucus the most that has ever come up. I am convinced that my coughing is from mucus in my lungs. Since then I have taken bromelain capsules as they have been recommended rather than the pineapple itself it is more cost-effective and works beautifully. I rarely cough anymore and my nose runs very little, I am absolutely thrilled to have stumbled across this article, and I believe bromelain may help many of the readers here. Blessings to all of you.

Thank you for the info Dr. Berg. Let me start by saying this past year has been a terrible year. It Started off with gallbladder stones that caused bad reflux that turned into pneumonia, I had to remove my gallbladder. At the time I was over weight at 220 and was diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. I also had horrible eczema, joint pain and hair loss. I was producing a lot of mucus in my throat that I was constantly spitting out and a cough that never went away, I would regurgitate my food, I was on antibiotics and PPI’s which made it worse. I saw a GI doctor who then took a biopsy sample from my stomach esophagus and that came out clear. I also was tested for H.Pylori which came back negative. Now all it came down to down to was my diet and what I found was that I can only eat meat and fruit. The carnivore diet changed my life except I eat a salad here and there with fruit but I can’t even eat anything with pepper or any kind of seasoning without producing the mucus again. I only drink water and I do have dessert it’s just sugar free. My body is unique I guess. I lost so much weight and I never starved myself. No more mucus, no more medications. I feel so much better so if anyone is having the mucus issue like I did please listen to your body.

Its awesome how much genuine apreciation and adoration is shown in any of your contents comment section in any uploaded content you produced. You have my genuine respect and appreciation and i had to add that it has made an impact on my life so thank you from the deepest sentiment of that emotion do i say this from. Thank you

I have had this problem for many many years, and finally know why. Thanks to Doctors like Eric Berg and Joseph Mercola, we can have real healing- not just addressing the symptoms, but the cause. I really appreciate doctors who care about the patient over profit.

[@kathy2888]

Oh!! Before Dr Berg, I researched everything through Dr. Mercola, this was 10 years ago.

[@kelliparker3107]

I wish we had more doctors like you! All my doctors just prescribe meds and don't look for the causes. I'm on over 20 different meds! I have a GP, cardiologist, gynecologist, neurologist, a therapist and a ophthalmologist. I feel like crap all the time, zero energy and in extreme pain all the time. I'm definitely tired of them just throwing pills at me and I believe that it makes everything worse. I have an extensive medical history and its ongoing, im just plain tired of not getting answers

[@ceeemm1901]

Oh there is Drs like this around, so long as there's dumb people who follow who don't need scientific references to prove anything.

[@lyn9415]

We are living the same life right now. Happy healing, I wish us both to come out on top of the other side of this. It is interfering with how I show up in my daily life.

I have been living with these symptoms for the most part of my life. I have been to multiple doctors ( had 2 endoscopy plus biopsy, seen multiple nose doctors ) and still suffering.

I'm a family physician practicing medicine for the past 12 years and what I was unaware of is, GERD caused by low acidic medium in stomach due to unabality of closing of the esophagial sphinter .what I know was exactly the opposite as too much acid leads to reflex esophagitis or GERD.thanks for information.

Thank you Dr Berg. I have been going through this problem for so many years

[@doriel668]

I am day 11 of fasting with supplements and electrolytes. My swollen nose is going away. I can breathe better. Swollen lymph glands in neck shrinking, swollen lymph glands in groin shrinking, swollen ankles shrinking, abdominal fat shrinking, less gas and bloating, losing weight slowly, blood pressure down from 134/78 to 109/72, BMI in normal range, skin tag on arm shrinking. I feel better moving lighter easier walking, more energy. Thank you so much for teaching me. I feel like you are saving my life.

I still get it in the morning but I think that's to do with my Snus habit. Also recently had and fought off bronchitis which lasted about a week so that could be it too. I know bad habits. Hard to quit them all at once.

He is spot on about low stomach acid. I know this info both as a colon hydrotherapist I tell my clients all the time about low stomach acid and how to reverse it. Also I had this problem myself a few years ago and I quickly reversed it with Betaine, intermittent fasting, and reducing carbs.

Thank you Dr. B ~ I am a whole food eater and I practice intermittent fasting. I'm glad you mentioned Vegan foods. Most people go Grocery shopping and see labels like "Vegan" or "Plant based" and automatically think "Oh, that's good for me!" Wrong!!! It's processed and full of Omega 6 Oil, Sodium, Sugar and more junk and you'll end up sick, diabetic and possibly, medically worse off than you were to begin with. I make sure to say to people "Know your Ingredients", educate yourself, know what your body needs and make sure you get it. I eat Organic when possible too. ⬇ ⏬ ⬇ ⏬ ⬇ ⏬ ⬇ ⏬ ⬇ ➡ WILL YOU DO A VIDEO ON the different Zinc, Potassium, Magnesium supplements ❓❓❓ ☺PLEASE☺ A video explaining what "Gluconate" and "Citrate" and what these and the other forms mean...PLEASE. You're the BEST!

Thank you so much. My 89 year old father has been living with all these symptoms for several years now and going back and forth to the Dr. Every time, she said that there was no issue. This completely answers all these questions . Now we can figure what to do to fix it by this video.

I’m glad the video helped clarify things for you and hope it brings some positive changes for your father. Wishing you all the best!

[@bretbradbury5559]

Hey Doc, PPI = Proton Pump Inhibitor, not Protein Pump Inhibitor. Also many vitamins are fat soluble and many people think that fats= bad while paying little attention to HFC and overly processed foods. I think you should also qualify the grains comment/suggestion as some gains are much better than others. For many people including myself, lowering gluten intake can have a huge impact on post nasal drip. I recommend stopping all gluten for at least 4 weeks to see and then if you see results, but insist on consuming glutens, you can slowly reintroduce them to discover your threshold. That threshold may change as you age so you may wish to check it again at some point down the road.

[@vampireforever6937]

Food intolerance also is a reason ... most of the food that we take may be allergic to us but unnoticed ...

Funny, just had a Endoscopy and this is one of the issues the doctor told me I probably suffered with. I didn't know but I do have chronic anemia due to mineral deficiencies! I've had 2 iron Infusions but have had allergic reactions to these. I'm taking your recommendations Dr. Berg. I wake up with mucous every morning and always thought it was due to allergies! It all makes sense!!! You're awesome Sir. I love watching your videos. They've been a life changer for my family and me! 💕💯👌

yes, esp. iron deficiency coming from the lack of HCL

May I ask how you're improving your iron? I'm acquainted with the infusions and the reactions :(

[@msisabelgomez]

@@orosco97 Hi...Ms. Jennifer. I'm actually scheduled to have a hysterectomy because of large fibroids. These too might be the culprit of my heavy periods. I am told I will probably need a blood transfusion which I want to avoid. I'm making these changes recommended by Dr. Berg and taking those supplements with the current ones of vitamin B12 and D3+k. I will be adding wheat grass to my morning routine. From my research and doctor, it takes 10 to 12 days for the processed iron to make red blood cells. I'm praying to be at least addy at a 9. I'm at 7.1 right now. 😔🙏💕
