Constant mini slimes?

[TwoStepsBack 15]

Hey guys,

I asked a while ago if anyone had experienced a yucky mucus at the back of the throat a few weeks out. There were suggestions of allergies or that I may have caught a cold, but I'm really not sure.

I am now almost a month out and still having the same problem. I went to the pharmacy today and had real trouble explaining how it feels...

It is NOT a cough, there is nothing on my chest

I feel like I need to clear my throat and nose all the time, but nothing ever comes out

I keep having a big thick clump of phlegm in the back of my throat which I can't bear to spit out because it feels so horrid, so I am swallowing it and then my tummy gurgles lots and I feel sick.

I am having trouble eating because I feel like my stomach is full of this slimy stuff.

Sorry for the TMI, it's so gross!

Reading some other posts it sounds a lot like the "sliming" which some people experience when eating too much or too fast. But it is there all the time.

Maybe I should go to my Doctor? The pharmacist gave me some tablets for congestion and catarrh but they don't seem to be making any difference....

Any advice would be much appreciated!

I don't know. I had some mucus too, but I have terrible allergies. You might try a little benadryl and if it goes away, chalk it up to nasal stuff.

If not, it may be the slimes they talk about with acid and indigestion from eating too much or at the wrong times? Sorry I can't help much here.

I think it's acid reflux. One of the major signs for me was that constant clearing of the throat. It sounds a lot like it. I went on Nexium and it was so much better. (This was years ago actually) I was able to go off of my Nexium but am really trying to be careful now post-sleeve to make sure I don't need it again. Good luck.
