Trachea Cracking and Popping
Hi i am sorry if this is something totally normal but having a history of cancer so things like this make me paranoid.
When i move my trachea side to side with my fingers i can feel a significant amount of popping and cracking in the area. Its been like this for a while and hasn't changed and i do not feel any pain from it. Is this normal? I do CT scans and PET a couple times a year just as follow up from cancer 3 years ago nothing has shown up in that area. I wanted to ask someone before i start to worry about it.

My breath generally smells of poo. I used to take a daily yakult and it cured it but due to my milk sensitivity I had to stop this and the stinky breath has returned. What can I take now that is dairy, gluten, wheat and caffeine free please?

You can look up the bacteria in yakult (Lacticaseibacillus casei) and try to buy that alone.
Then take the capsules, or try to culture it and make your own in something besides dairy. Maybe you don't need the casein (dairy protein) to grow it in. I'm fairly sure, e.g., that some people have cultured lactobacillus acidophilus in straw (not milk) - but you'd have to check that.

Thank you so much I'll get straight on that!
If the probiotic bacteria in capsules can't take hold in your intestines, and have permanent residence there, then they can probably still give a benefit as they pass through.
You can also experiment with killing off the bad microbes in your gut with plant derived antimicrobials. Grape seed extract, cinnamon, garlic, sage and oregano are some. You should try those in small doses at first, otherwise you can get a bad reaction if the bad bacteria die off en masse and release toxins from their scurvy little bodies :)
Nothing grows under a black walnut tree, where the husks fall.
Btw, I'd look into whether the smell is hydrogen sulfide. In farms, they might have manure pits and people can and do die from that gas if they enter it. So in your bloodstream, that gas can be poisoning you.
Glad to be of some help. Good luck to you.

About 1 month ago. But the doctor just palpated the neck area and did not actually move the trachea side to side which i would not expect him to do as a part of my normal check up. There are no audible Popping and cracking, but i can feel it.

I have the exact same problem. Sometimes it's feels out of place and I have to move my trachea back into place with the cracking and popping you described.

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Normally you would not have any sounds. When was the last check up done? I would advise you to consult your specialist once.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
