I have been struggling with these same symptoms. For the last 3 years. It's progressively getting worse. It started with just itching, especially at night, then it was excessive burping. But only a couple days at a time then it would go away, now it's every day almost every 10 min.. I also have sticky saliva that seems to come up the more I feel the need to burp. I feel like I have something in my throat. I have IBS symptoms, all of them. I am 36 yrs old and I'm so miserable

A glass of water with apple cider viinegar raw-unfiltered.  The best brand in Bragg, put two tbs. in the water and drink in morning on an empty tummy.  This will also balance the acid.  This is the best to clear up mucus.  Go natural.  I am a nutritionist.

I have a lot of these issues, too. I wake up every day with thick slime in my throat and mouth, feels like my throat is all closed up because of it. It's even difficult to drink water and get going for the day. I've tried Nexium and had some slight improvement but not enough to stay on it. I switched to omeprazole and that didn't help it all, even though it was prescription strength. I had an endoscopy and they found a hiatal hernia plus gastritis, but the doctor basically said to eat better and take over the counter medicine. Anyway, now I'm on Prevacid. The mucus and slime is just slightly better, and I've been taking this for over a month. It gets worse when I eat, but it's pretty much always there, even when I haven't eaten anything at all, which makes no sense. I get issues from foods that shouldn't cause problems, such as bananas, apples, and even salad. It constantly feels like something is stuck in there and this is all very frustrating and annoying. I'm trying to drink a lot more water but it needs to be the bottled type, or alkaline, tap water gives me issues. On top of all this, I have allergies. I'm allergic to dust, my cat, sometimes it seems like I'm allergic to my own hair, which I know sounds crazy but when it gets in my face or touches my forehead I feel really itchy from it. I'm wondering if anyone here has experienced both issues at the same time -- acid reflux PLUS allergies? Could I have symptoms of both happening at exactly the same time? I'm cleaning the whole house a lot more and even covered my bedding and pillows with allergy covers, everything seems pretty clean, and I use unscented detergent on top of all this. Nothing seems to help and I'm wondering what doctor to try next -- allergist, ENT, or another gastro doctor. Let me know if anyone has found a solution for the think saliva with coughing and throat swelling.... thanks.
