Excess phlegm and consantly clearing throat

by Joan
(NYC)

I have so much excess phlegm in my throat that I am constantly clearing it (loudly). I'm embarrassed as well as the people I have to work with.

I've tried everything (Mucinex, Zyrtec, my doctor even told me to try acid reducer). He even gave me a prescription for Flonase in case it was a post nasal drip).

Nothing seems to help.

I'm wondering if I suddenly could have come up with some kind of allergy to food. It seems to be worse right after I eat. Could this be a symptom of celiac disease?

mucus remedy
by: Anonymous

Try a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar mixed with your favorite juice up to three times a day. It really helps to cut the mucus in my boyfriend, who is celiac by the way. We found this remedy on a gluten free website and it makes all the difference in the world for him.

gluten > phlegm
by: MCuevas

Before going GF, I would wake up congested and stuffy every day. Only after coughing up huge amounts of clear/white phlegm (and gagging constantly while doing it), would I get any sense of relief. Also, I was constantly clearing my throat and coughing up small bits of phlegm during the day. It was sinus drainage that would never stop. I also could not handle any dairy, because it was cause the same type of reaction.
I?ve been GF for a few months now, but when I ingest any gluten, I get the same way all over again within a day or two. Coughing and spitting up phlegm. I can now drink milk but choose not to do so very frequently. If I stick to my GF diet, I don?t have any phlegm or incessant coughing/spitting up.
Good luck!!

Throat problems
by: MARILYN

Hi

I looked online to see if the problem of having to clear my throat all the time might be linked to ceoliac disease and found this post.

I would like to know if you find any answers as it is driving me mad.
