Thick sticky mucus in throat,

[clarkie48]

I have been reading the posts about the thick mucus in throat, I have the same thing, I went to the doctor who seemed to think it is acid reflux. He sent me for an x ray which I had last Tuesday, yesterday I had a phone call from the hospital and was asked to go for a CT scan, I asked why and she said the consultant wanted a more in depth look. I have to be honest, I am petrified, I am wondering why I haver to have the scan and worried they mind find something more dangerous.

I have had this problem every day for the past three months. I wake up literally gagging on this Nasty crap! The first thing I do every morning I brush my teeth, then i gargle with mouthwash, then I gargle with peroxide. That seems to help. Eating or drinking certain things bring it back, especially dairy.

Recently I discovered this vial of pellets that you put under your tongue to dissolve, called Ipecacuanha, in the homeopathic section of whole foods. You dissolve five pellets 3x daily. It says it helps with nausea & or vomiting with Hypersalivation. I figured trying it couldn't hurt, and it has helped me out a great deal.

I also make a shot of baking soda with equal parts water, and I swish and we wgeg☺

See Susie03's comment.  I had this problem since the end of June 2013 and I had every test under the sun and finally ended up with a neck surgeon.  He thinks I have Globus Sensation formerly known as Globus Hystericus (because it drives people crazy).  Started me on a 6 week program of adding medicines to "try" to see if anything helps.  After googling what I've been tagged with, I stumbled across Susie's post about the Probiotic and 5 drops of Grapefruit Seed Extract (which I use 10, because that what it says on the bottle) I went to a healthfood store to purchase the items immediately that night.   Within a week the feeling in my throat was GONE!  I still have the snapping in my ears, but at least it's tolerable and I haven't given up hope that the snapping with also go away.  Thank you Susie03!!!

I had the lumpy throat feeling. My gastro also believes it's Globus sensation.  What seems to help is chewing gum or sucking on a vitamin D halls drop.
