Mucus in throat

[ASP1979]

Recently I get a lot of mucus in my throats and it seems to have gotten worse these days. I do have multinodular goiter and I have also been suffering from acid reflux since I gained weight after my second child birth. I am advised to loose weight but in the mean time I am looking for relief from this continuous mucus in my throat. I am Breastfeeding and might have to avoid medicines that might interfere. Looking to hear from any of you who have had relief with naturopathy

You could try changing to gluten free diet, especially if you have Hashimoto's (high antibodies). Have antibodies ever been tested? If not ask that they are

Acid reflux when hypo is often LOW stomach acid. Lots of posts on here about how to increase. Either with Betaine HCL or Apple cider vinegar.

These symptoms suggest you are under medicated

Have you got latest thyroid results, plus vitamin D, folate, ferritin, and B12

All thyroid tests should be done as early as possible in morning and fasting.

The symptoms your mentioning are all hypo symptoms ASP1979.I know because I had acid reflux and other stomach problems to the point that I needed endoscopy three times to see what was going on . It never accord to any of the Dr's that I have gone to that it might just be hypo thyroid and to raise my meds . The same thing happened when I was going through UTI . I was put on rounds of antibiotics instead of running labs with thyroid markers . Each time the Dr's where aware that I am a thyroid patient and had TT . I raised my own thyroid meds out of desperation and my symptoms subsided THANK G-D . I really am convinced that patients know more than Dr's . I hope you get your thyroid meds to optimal levels very soon . Dr's would much rather pile on more and more meds instead of getting to the root of the problem .

Thanks for sharing. I am going to get my thyroid level checked

I have constant mucus but no other really annoying symptoms and no idea what the cause is. Wondering if its too much dairy products .

Giving up dairy really helped me with mucus problems. Have gradually started eating it again and am getting more mucus. Will have to cut it out again before winter colds are around!
