LPR excessive mucus please help me!!

[heather2009]

I am desperate for help. I am a 30 year old female who has always had stomach problems. I had an ulcer 5 years ago. All of a sudden out of the blue I began to get acid taste in my mouth. Then Excessive amounts of mucus. So much that I feel like I am gagging all the time. It gets worse after eating especially carbs and sugar. I got diagnosed with lpr and sent on my way. I am on nexium twice a day for a month. I have had no success with the mucous. It is ruining my life.
My question is , is there anything to do about the mucus. My ent is horrible. Also should I try adding a zantac at night.
I do saline irrigations which helps a little. I have to do after I eat. This is not very pleasant. I am getting married in september but this is enough to make me want to cancel.
Does anyone ever get rid of this mucus or is this my life. I can't eat anything so I have lost a ton of weight. My throat fills with mucous?

Thanks!!

Have you tried a decongestant? I dont think anything will make it completely go away but there are things that will help alot. Mucinex helps.

Ask your doctor about mucodyne it helps thin out the mucus wait an hour after taking it then take a few sips of water and cough up the mucus just continue that untill you feel the saliver you bring up is clear

I have tried mucinex for a few days but it just seem to make it more runny . It was just pooling in my throat. I am trying to take nasacort aq to see if that helps. I am going to an allergist but I tested negative for allergies. Does mucinex take a couple days to work. Do you have this same problem?

The problem is I am not coughing up anything with mucinex. So I am not sure where the mucus going. I am thinking about adding a pepcid before I go to bed. All these acid reducers can't be good. I am only 100 pounds.

Thank you so much for the advice
