Excess phlegm - post nasal drip or candida albicans?
by domflanuk, Jun 14, 2007 12:00AM
I have suffered from excess phlegm for 8 years now (from age 18 to present).
The current idea (from my ENT) is that i have post nasal drip caused by allergies which it may well be!
I have also had acid reflux which was corrected with operation (Nissen Fundoplication)and no longer a problem but phlegm still very bad!
I use sinus wash, nasal steroid spray (nasonex) and antihistamine (loratadine) every day (for last 6-12 mths) but they have no effect and i feel like they never will, if anything my phlegm is getting worse.
I have come across a website which say candida albicans can be the cause of problems (i also get white patches on my tongue which i always thought could be yeast infection)

I am interested in giving this a try if it is a realistic option
Anybody had any experience with this?

It can cause candida in the body to get out of control. Usually the body can take care of candida, unless you eat a lot of sugar or had a lot of antibiotics.
If you can't find good info on mercury after googling for a while, drop me an email (ejhayes @ yahoo.com). I have personal experience with it.
