14:13 Check out my video on hydrochloric acid
Let’s look at what really causes chronic phlegm and what you can do about it.
Chronic mucus production in your throat can worsen at night, and you may notice other symptoms such as:
• Postnasal drip
• Chronic cough
• Hoarseness
• A sensation of a lump in your throat
• A sore throat without an infection
An allergy or virus could cause chronic mucus production. However, there is a more likely cause that’s related to two other symptoms, GERD and LPR. Both of these conditions are typically treated with antacids or other medications that suppress stomach acid.
If you have chronic mucus in your throat, you want to ask yourself if you have any symptoms related to GERD or LPR. But, the big problem is that some of the treatments for these conditions can come with many side effects-they may even aggravate the condition. The optimum solution should not give you a bigger problem than you started with.
It’s my view that low hydrochloric acid (stomach acid) is the most likely cause of GERD or LPR, which can lead to chronic phlegm. Hydrochloric acid is a very important fluid for many different bodily functions.
Instead of suppressing the symptom (chronic phlegm), we need to look at what we can do for the root cause (low hydrochloric acid).
How to help increase hydrochloric acid:
• Take betaine hydrochloride
• Stop consuming grains and grain-fed animal products
• Do intermittent fasting
• Avoid a typical vegan diet
• Avoid omega-6 fatty acids
• Consume more omega-3 fatty acids

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps increase your awareness of the root cause of chronic phlegm.
At 81 yrs I had this problem, gerd and constant mucus in my throat. My solution is a keto diet with very low carbs and one meal a day at 11am no snacks. Apple cider vinegar about an hour or so before I eat. Exercise walking 3 miles a day for 6 days a week along with very light weights 8lbs dumbbells work out 30 mins. Keep in mind age makes this exercise a little more difficult as the years go on.. God bless you all!
Respect !
Keep moving and stay alive !
Don't forget organic alkaline fruit and greens !
Thank you for this valuable advice.
Wow. Don't you feel weak with just one meal daily?
What is gerd?
You are a-zmazing... I was told "it's not the years in your life, it's the life in your years" both on your side... you are abundantly blessed... if most think as well as act? What a world it would be...
I used to suffer with this issue BIG-TIME. The symptoms I experienced (lump in throat, excess mucus, and regurgitation...god the regurgitation was awful) were so bad that they affected my sleep greatly. I would wake up after a "night's rest" feeling like I had slept for 20, 30 minutes tops. It honestly made life very difficult for me, and I was often at my wits end for what to do besides using antacids or PPI. I mean, for god sakes, I was 21 at the time, why does a 21 year old need antacids? But in a way, having this condition may have helped me take greater control of my health. At some point I was so fed up that I actually did some research into the root causes (like Dr. Berg) suggested and found that it could be diet-related, or it could be due to lack of stomach acid...etc. I guess I was a lot more naive then so it took me much longer to come to the conclusion that it was a problem I could fix through lifestyle modification rather than strictly medication.
What I found, for me personally, was that food definitely had an impact. I used to consume a lot of protein powder after working out, and it certainly wasn't high quality. I cut that out, along with dairy. That provided a slight improvement. I then found out about the Betaine-HCL (Not sure if it was through Dr. Berg, can't remember) and I bought that as well. Started using that and again, after two weeks or so, saw more minor improvements. Well, that gave me a lot of hope. I tried to make my diet as clean as possible, just for one month, to see how well I could benefit. In addition, I began consuming a LOT of fermented foods, specifically kefir and sauerkraut. That seemed to have a HUGE benefit. Lastly, I also considered the fact that my gut lining was probably damaged due to terrible diet, medications, you name it. So I was taking "L-glutamine" for a good period of time in order to remedy that. That felt like a much slower change over time, but I do think it had positive effects. I also took Zinc Carnosine for a period of time. The combo of these pretty much gave me my life back. I'll summarize it below:
-Cutting out certain foods (for me, dairy/protein powders)
-Using Betaine-HCL with meals to improve stomach acid
-Clean up diet (kinda goes along with the first one)
-Consume fermented foods (Kefir, sauerkraut, etc)
-L-glutamine (Positive effects on gut lining and repair)
-Zinc Carnosine (for stomach lining)
Hope that helps. I know I wrote a wall of text here but this issue affected my life for so long that I want to assist anyone suffering with this condition in any way I can.
Oh god! I have the same symptoms and dry mouth couldn't figure it out!
Thank you great info. Bless
Ryan thank you so much .got the same problem 🤗🤗
You are an example of generosity :-)
I went through many of the things you went through. I just didn’t have computers when I was in my 20’s. So I didn’t really go that route. I was blind. I wish I had. I believe we’re all so conditioned to believe doctors. That they know better so we must follow what they say. They must have our best interest at heart. But honestly how can they? Through they years I’ve seen that people are just a commodity to them. A way to make a buck. When you knew their history, that for centuries they were just servants. Not the prestigious position they hold today. But the drug companies have improved the doctors reputation and have push this propaganda that only doctors know your body and what is going on and what is best for you. They say, “do as they say, they know best, you can’t know you haven’t been to medical school.” But people didn’t know that they were being duped by the drug companies. Even many doctors don’t realize that medical schools are influenced by drugs companies and that’s why they don’t even look at natural ways and food ways of healing the body. It’s disgusting. It’s all about money when you get down to it. While people are dying unnecessarily.
I truly wish the average Doctor spent this much time with their patients explaining the root cause of their issues.
You got that right !

This may help someone reading. I had these symptoms and the Drs thought I had asthma and then GERD and then LPR. They kept trying to prescribe soooo much medication. I was miserable. Turns out after finding the most amazing Dr in Texas, I actually did NOT have asthma or GERD or silent reflux at all!!! I ended up having VOCAL CORD DYSFUNCTION (almost identical symptoms as what everyone kept diagnosing me with). There is a special test they can do to look at your vocal cords. After going to vocal cord therapy with a speech pathologist who specializes in this condition, my constant coughing, shortness of breath etc was fixed. It was a simple fix and seriously changed my life! There aren't many who specialize in this and clearly many Drs don't even know about this. The therapy was just special breathing and vocal exercises to heal my vocal cords. It took about a month and no medication needed. I was able to throw out the inhalers and the Prilosec and all the other meds Drs kept prescribing. Hope this helps!
A better diet will help prevent it from reoccurring, or some different issue developing in the future.
Wow! I would never have guessed this could be a problem. My daughter had issues that doctor thought was Gerd. She was put on Prilosec and that literally almost killed her. Part of the side effects of Prilosec you can develop pneumonia and she did. This was during the height of Covid. That in turn sent her into sepsis. Finally got admitted to hospital. They kept sending her home. She was a mess. Whoever reads this DO NOT use Prilosec!!!
Thank you for posting this.
Hi I have the same problem I like too know more please tell me more I'm from CA
what’s your doctor’s name? I’m in texas and have been suffering for years!
Glad your feeling better. Did you ever spit up blood when speaking for a long time or post nasal drip when you were going through this situation?
This guy is a wizard! Anytime i acknowledge a health problem of mine, he uploads a helpful video to explain and solve it.
It's because you typed something into your search engine. Algorithms.
I agree its the algorithm yes. But he has uploaded a video right when I needed help with an issue.
@PanZerPal: it makes you wonder lol.
@@martinez209 I doubt that....this person seems to regularly watch his videos like me...I always get notified so it's not that you even need to search
No... Its because your phone can hear you caugh👀
Ahum. 👀. @@martinez209 👀
Thank you because I have had this problem for over 20 years and my vocal chords have been impacted.
I had this issue for years, once I slowed and stopped my consumption of dairy, it went away 🤷🏾♀️
Raw dairy from grass fed cows is your friend. Pasteurized dairy is frankendairy.
interesting need to try this
@@DRourkproblem is you can't get raw milk anywhere
Do you eat clarified butter ?
I just noticed this after trying to recover from being in bed 4 weeks. Yogurt and milk would make me have tons of phlegm spit. I noticed it when I ate yogurt and I put two and two together because milk did the same thing even A2 milk.
Great video. I suffered from post nasal drip and daily mucus in throat for approximately two and a half years. I had this from 2002-2004 in my early 20’s. Doctors could not figure it out. They kept telling me I had an infection and required antibiotics. An infection was never the case. I’m 2004, an ears, nose, and throat specialist stated that before surgery consideration, she wanted to rule out fungus. She had me conduct a sinus rinse (Neti pot) 6 times a day for three weeks. Magically, the post nasal drip and excess mucus disappeared; it had killed the fungus. To this date I apply a sinus rinse daily in AM. Wanted to share my story for those that have have ruled out bacteria, allergies, and acids.
Another non-digestive cause for chronic mucus production in the throat can be a nasal polyp. I suppose that was not your case because the ear doctor would have most definitely seen it when examining your nose. However, it was the case with me.
For some reason general practitioners rarely examine the patient's nose when one comes presenting these symptoms, even though a nasal polyp is a known common cause, and the examination is very simple.
Very helpful information. I have had this condition for decades but don't have problems with acid reflux and don't need to use anti acids. It felt more like a sinus/nose condition than a gastric condition. I will try the steps that helped you. Thank you for sharing!
When digestion is slowed down by lack of gastric juice, apple cider vinegar diluted with water and honey helps a lot. 🥃
I’m going to try this remedy! I’m always clearing my throat of mucus, especially at night. Drives me nuts! Thank you!
@@lindamartodam6014 fungus or tiny particles that can be inhaled can travel to your upper sinus cavities above your eyes. They can live there and aggravate your sinus passages. Your sinuses will create more mucus to alleviate the irritation. Sinus rinses (salt) will assist with clearing your sinus cavities. Try the rinse in the morning and before going to bed.
Dr berggg!! are you a magician? you seem to upload videos at just the right time. Thanks doc🙏
Bahahaha yes he is 🤪
You noticed that as well
So true! I'm having this problem too recently 😅 He's definitely an expert magician 👍❤👍
You ain't never lied 👍 👍
same here. lol
THANK YOU!..Can’t believe you made this video’I’ve suffered from post nasal drip and the sensation of phlegm in the back of my throat along with hoarseness for a year now, no acid reflux or any other issues. Have noticed when I take hot coffee my hoarseness gets worse. Thank you for this video! Seems like you always bring us topics we never expect of symptoms we might think “it’s only me”
Hi doc, as always you're just a treasure of information & help.This for me is huge for the last 8 years or so. Terrible gut, bad reaction to diary & proteins, mucus & sore throat, plus lump in throat, cough out of nowhere., my joints inflamed . Lately possible heartburn...they checked heart , gallbladder etc & only found abit if arrythmia that was fixed with magnesium & a little cyst in gall bladder. There's always pain on the left side of my body/ back...& I only started thinking-was this stomach related? Then this video popped up....I think you just might have helped me work out what's going on🙏...you are just so good....how blessed are we to have you helping us.Grateful🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Keep on keeping on doc.🙂 Treasure!

Such a BLESSING..
To have brave doctors like this willing to put their knowledge online and brave through the cruelty for years of critical people before it was acceptable to be different,
It takes persistence and tenancity to go through the years of going against the "normal" standard way of doing things.
We needed this doctor, so thankful he's here doing his job.
Thank you on behalf of all of us.
Amen!
Absolutely
100%
There is nothing " normal " about the Rockefeller Medicine Model .
i hope he doesnt get in trouble for speaking truth like others have.....
I can not get over the amazing information you provide! Why can't this be mainstream? It would help so many people!
Thank you!
Wow this has helped me immensely. Going in for an upper gi, placement of a ph monitor, and a manometry test in a few weeks, and I've had terribly digestion problems and auto immune issues. This broke down the facts and with videos made me understand what's going on with my system.... terrific job

I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have been diagnosed with Subglottic Stenosis and I truly believe it is a mucus production problem and once I get this under control I will be able to breathe and feel normal again. My airway doesn't feel restricted but my lungs are drowning in fluid. Going to try this right away.
I am so so so so incredibly happy I found you.
I told my mom you were absolutely made for me. Every issue I have and had, you know it like I was telling you word for word what's wrong. & you have a solution for it.
Thank you. I'm glad for the day I saw your first video because it was the best ever.
So true! Ever since I started intermittent fasting and eating fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden my Gerd has improved dramatically. I am no longer taking any otc or prescriibed medicines. Thanks for this video! So informative.
My doc says it is good to have theae pills so I dropped him. You make so much sense to me been dealing with this for 5 months. I am now with a naturopath and she has helped me lots

Excellent report Dr. Berg. I have had stomach problems since I was a child and until today no one has provided me with such in depth explanation as well as provide real solutions other than just told to take Zantac daily which I never have. Congratulations on being one of just a couple of trusted health care professionals.
Hi Vicky did you get sorted .
Try Kombucha probiotic and eating celery everyday and drink a glass of water with Celtic salt every morning warm like a tea and a glass of water every hour.
My husband had everything described in this video. His GI doctor only prescribed anti acids and then a surgery to flip half his stomach to stop acid. After being miserable for two years and put on a feeding tube my husband died. I begged him to switch doctors but he wouldn’t because the doctor was was a friend. 😡 Everyone should listen to this video.
Western Doctors are not your friends, they are out to make money only. Big Pharma runs their offices.
Oh no, I hate that. I'm very sorry.
I went alternative 30 years ago . It was the best thing l did . Feel so sorry for you , your husband did not need to die .
My husband was prescribed Prilosec. He has Parkinson’s.
That is terrible. If he had just done research he could have turned it around. Sorry for ur loss.
I was diagnosed with GERD and have the problem that you explained so well. Thank you for making this video. You are doing humanity a favor.
What is the treatment taken please share
How r u going
I have this problem with my stomach and lots of post nasal drip, now I'm informed and will talk to my Doctor on the 14th of November. Thank you for taking your time to talk about this ❤️ GREAT 👍 Videos Doc
What an 'informative' presentation. You've told me more in under 15 minutes that 20 procedures conducted with balloon and scope on my esophagus since I was 26yo. I liked the fact that you included 'other' possible root causes; their effects and general directions that I would certainly ask my 'primary' about. At almost 68, I'm informed I have 'Barret's' Syndrome as a result of many years of 'GERD'. I had never heard of ''LRP' and seriously am a 'candidate' for that 'diagnosis' as I frequently find myself with 'Mucous Throat'... Given my history with GERD; Esophageal spasms, a lifetime prescribed anti-acids, and PPI's it all comes together quite clearly. I wonder if I'd been 'misdiagnosed' all those years, even after the many scope procedures... Thank you for your effort putting together this very informative presentation. Have sent this 'link' to others who should ask their 'primary'...
We keep calling it Big Pharma so you get a clue; they are not ever going to cure us!
wonder if misdiagnosed?... docs have been “ knowingly” prescribing ppis to patients who do NOT have excessive stomach acid.. but TOO LITTLE. I know.
To add.. ppis were never meant to be taken but for a few months .. NOT lifetimes.
I believe I have esophageal spasms as well, have had every test procedure done imaginable. This video explained very well. It makes sense. Would love to chat about the spasms. No dr understands what I’m telling them. Thank you
I've been on pip's for 25 years. Wonder what kind of damage is already done.
Same problems, i reduced coffee/caffine, reduced soda, stopped eating late and fasted. I feel like a new person. My sleep has gotten so much better.

This has to be the best video I've ever seen.
You're the best buddy! I've had this problem for years. Always wondered what the deal was!!
Good stuff. I have had GERD for 40+ years. I initially used OTC meds which helped but, in my 40's I was prescribed omeprazole which worked really well. I too have noticed increased issues with breads eaten later in the day triggering acid overload. Recently, my wife has started making home made bread ground from raw wheat berries that become flour minutes after grinding and go right in the oven after three hours of rising. Strangely, ZERO acid effects after eating this nutritious version of what bread is supposed to be. Lab tests report most of the wheat products sold in grocery stores have little or no nutritional value (because they are made from flour ground weeks or months before use which has little nutritional value) while fresh-ground home baked items retain their full nutritional value for a couple days after baking. Great discussion. Keep it coming!
Does omperazole still work?
I am suffering with this problem. I am happy your video pops up on my phone
Glad this helped. Thanks for watching!
It happens to me every time I eat dairy , even if a small amount of butter on food it happens to me

Bless you, Dr. Berg. I have been dealing with these issues for three years now, mostly LPR. Chronic cough and hoarseness. My doctor does not want to hear about it anymore. Through research and now, especially you, I think I am improving. I have never considered PPIs, which is what they always want you to take. Just subscribed. Please keep up the excellent, informative videos.
Hello! Glad to know that you liked this video and found the information informative. Thank you for watching!
@@Drberg which country are you from?iwish you can examine me
@@sallypeter1407 dr Berg is not a physician
@@angelsandocean2853 That's the understatement of the decade. :)
Another cause, especially for those over 50, is Hiatal Hernia, which allows stomach acid into the esophagus and throat. Stooping over allows this to happen more frequently. Before bed, try jumping off a small step (about 6 inches high) several times and forcing the stomach back down through the diaphragm. Also, a tablespoon of cider vinegar helps with the stomach acid.
Dr Berg you are so loved!!! It is because of you and your videos that my quality of life has turned around. Just when I started to ‘accept’ that I’m sick to my stomach, literally feeling like it’s only a matter of time my body is going to give out on me, not to mention my labs constantly yo-yo-ing between low iron low VitaminD3 who many other symptoms that I feel doctors were stumped on how to get to the bottom of my problems. Ultimately I have healed myself via your videos without medication, fixing my gut! Wow, what a precious thing the gut is for the function of your entire body and well being! Thank you Dr Berg🙏
Good testimony my brother
@A L please what drugs did you take
Really ? I also have low vitamin D .. and constant throat mucus. Please can you share what helped ?
Excellent video! Keep making these videos as you will help more people to live well!
You did a very good job explaining this in layman’s terms. I understood everything you said. I have had this issue every morning for most of my life. I’ve assumed it was an allergy. It is easy broken up when I drink hot tea in the morning. And when I cut out foods that cause inflammation. Based on symptoms you mentioned I don’t have gird. I have to be careful because I have had 3/4 of my stomach removed.
This guy change my life! I lost some people in my family who thought how I did this was unhealthy, because what I was doing went against how they loved to live with their addictions they don’t realize they have , meanwhile they all sick and look like balloon faces. I have been sick since i was 8 years old with my liver as I had issues that long ago. 25 years later of depression I come across his videos and wow just wow. No more depression :) I’m down 104.5 pounds since oct 2021, doing OMAD and keto
Same diet got my dads blood sugar from 14 down to 6 average in same amount of time :)

Dr Berg, how can I support you more? You have a video for every single issue I’m having. I often send your videos to family and friends that are having issues as well. You explain things so well 😊 I’ve been on Pantaprazole now for 8 months but after being diagnosed with diabetes type 2 a month ago, I’ve followed your advice and went directly into intermittent fasting and low carb. I’ve went from DKA 13.7 to 12.1 in two weeks and am trying now to wean myself off the acid reducer. I have been concerned of the side effects and have been dealing with high amounts of mucus and nasal drip. This video is a Godsend ♥️ Thank you!!

I'm going to be 100% honest.

I was pretty sure that I've been having the symptoms I've had because of kind of getting lazy with the intermittent fasting and my 90% Carnivore diet! Today I finally watched it and am happy that I did. Bottom line is I need to get back on the intermittent fasting and lay off the carbs!

Dr. Berg, I have been following you for years and do believe that you are definitely better informed than most doctors. Today I’m commenting because in this video, your skin looks younger than ever. For a while you were losing too much weight and I do remember when you made that comment yourself. But, right now, you are looking great and extremely healthy. Thank you so much for your continued wealth of information from which we are constantly benefiting . Today’s video was very helpful for me because I have been dealing with the exact problems that you have addressed. I will be looking into your recommendations. Thanks again!!
I agree he was looking sickly
He looks much better. Also the tan looks good and facial hair.
One of the side effects listed for a BP medicine my 75-y o husband is taking is this irritated throat. And he has it. The doc wants to push more pharmaceuticals. We have been trying other supplements to help his blood pressure (along with 30 minutes (minimum) walking and better diet). I appreciate the information provided in this video.
Thank you for the info Dr. Berg. Let me start by saying this past year has been a terrible year. It Started off with gallbladder stones that caused bad reflux that turned into pneumonia, I had to remove my gallbladder. At the time I was over weight at 220 and was diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. I also had horrible eczema, joint pain and hair loss. I was producing a lot of mucus in my throat that I was constantly spitting out and a cough that never went away, I would regurgitate my food, I was on antibiotics and PPI’s which made it worse. I saw a GI doctor who then took a biopsy sample from my stomach esophagus and that came out clear. I also was tested for H.Pylori which came back negative. Now all it came down to down to was my diet and what I found was that I can only eat meat and fruit. The carnivore diet changed my life except I eat a salad here and there with fruit but I can’t even eat anything with pepper or any kind of seasoning without producing the mucus again. I only drink water and I do have dessert it’s just sugar free. My body is unique I guess. I lost so much weight and I never starved myself. No more mucus, no more medications. I feel so much better so if anyone is having the mucus issue like I did please listen to your body.
Thank you . I'm happy for you that you're doing well now
How did you find out that meat and fruit would be your diet.... I am going through this uncomfortable situation?
What an amazing intro!!! 🤍🤍🤍
I'm a vegan of 11 years. I aim for a whole food plant based diet, rather than processed vegan foods. I notice you didn't mention that dairy foods are mucus forming. Many health issues cleared up when I stopped consuming dairy, such as acne, recurring colds and mucus throat
I have heard this before too, however when I was vegan some years ago I continued to have the issue which was frustrating.
It's from vaccines most likely.
Q
Indeed Kaz, I stopped eating dairy 3 years ago and have been free of hay fever for the first time in my life. My summers were miserable for 55 years. I believe asthma and eczema could be linked to diet and dairy as well, My daughter stopped eating dairy around the same time and her serious eczema cleared up.
So worth it if it results in good skin 🥺
I was diagnosed with LPR. Now I know how to treat it. Another invaluable and timely video.
Lpr means?

Susan, was it a Fluoroquinolone antibiotic? If so I'm so sorry
Like most of us I had candidiasis the yeast fungal overgrowth in nose ear and mouth. The oral thrush affecting with chronic tonsillitis, frequent tooth aches, sinusitis, migraine, runny stuffy nose since my childhood days. All attributed to excess consumption of sweets, chocolates, cookies, pastries etc.
The solution was to sterilise them with googling coconut milk in the mouth before brushing, keep your brush dipped in boiling water from reinfecting, such a mild mixture of coconut oil tree tea oil oregano oil few drops in your nose and apply them in war too using buds.
Later do through liver/gut cleanse and drink kefir yogurt to recolonise your gut with very strong probiotics. All symptoms vanish permanently.
Make sure your entire family does it to prevent from infecting you back.
I had a bacterial infection and an ongoing phlemy cough and just from watching this video I've realised it all started with low stomach acid.
Dr Berg , you are God sent to help us.
What would we do without you. I’m suffering with this problem from many years, no one was able to diagnosis it. Every year I take antibiotics thinking it was infection.
Finally will try your medicine.I’m sure this will work.
Thank God and thank you.
U r a blessing to everyone having health problems...u explain very well the causes and remedies to overcome such illneses...salute u doc...thanks for ur channel. Watching u from Laguna,Philippines Lina Caril
Thank you Doc for bring up this topic at the right time again , I don’t know how to get rid of it but I’m following your advices- You are needed here in Canada ☺️
I've been suffering with this for over 6 months now & seen a specialist- I believe you've been more help than anyone else! Thank you, here's to getting rid of this 🙏
So Sad when so many of us are failed by our own medical doctors~!!!
Ginger tea helps
You’re video always in the right time as if you knew I had sore throat due to weather
I love your videos. God bless you for sharing important health information
Thank you. You explained things in a very understandable way that made me think outside the "Typical Box" for things like (Sore Throats, Ear Aches, constant mucus feeling like it's stuck in a glue ball to the back of the throat.) All of these things I've been struggling with my 9yr old for two years now. When he was an infant and we switched him off breastmilk he started having issues doctors said oh its acid reflux here give him this medication. Trusting those with the medical degree was giving me honest guidance I gave it for a while. It didn't do much so I stopped it. Ffwd some years he's now 9 and always complain of the above issues with zero infections or illness go explain these symptoms and his father has stomach issues I am leaning towards asking different questions now when we see his doctors again. So I appreciate this video! 😌
6 Years and half dozen specialists later,dozens of meds and I finally discovered my chronic cough was the result of a gluten allergy . I had to ask for a food sensitivity test and change my diet before I saw any improvement. None of the specialists suggested this. Thank you Dr. for sharing your wisdom.
Western Medicine Doctors are oblivious. So tired of them not doing their job. High paid guessers.
what's shocking about this is not just that GP doctors didn't help, but that Specialists didn't help either! Heartfelt and glad you are improving!
a good gut cleansing is what helped me.
Agreed. All pushed steroids and inhailers. Band aids not root cause. It was actually a functional medicine podcast that planted the seed. So thankful for those willing to look for the cause!
@@DL-xo7fn what is a,good gut cleansing can pls tell !
Great video really helpful makes me think about root causes I never thought of before
Hi Dr. Berg, thank you so much for making videos we can actually understand! I know you suggested taking 3-7 doses of Betane Hydrochloride for this issue but the miligrams on bottles vary greatly. Can you recommend a safe milligram to purchase?
Omg I’ve been dealing with this “lump” in my throat and feeling like I have too much phlegm stuck that I can’t clear, for so long with no diagnosis. It’s caused me panic attacks because I feel like I can’t swallow! It’s been so detrimental to my mental health. I’ve been dealing with this for 1.5 years!
Thank you for addressing this. I want to cry that I finally know what’s wrong with me, no thanks to my doctor, all the thanks to you!
Famotidine or Pepcid ac got rid of that lump feeling in my throat.
Hello Michelle, How’re you doing?
I'm not gonna lie, intermittent fasting has help my life tremendously!
*MR OBALAR* ON UA-cam CURED ME TOTALLY
Hi Dr, I got most of the symptoms you have mentioned
Hi Dr. Berg. Been following your diet for a couple of months and and feeling great.
My problem is I cough when I lie down to sleep for the night.
I grew up on my grandparents dairy farm. We ate good food and lol exercised often so not a lot of overweight issues. When we rarely had digestive issues, my Awesome gram would pull of the apple cider vinegar, give you some and almost every time your issues were resolved in a couple minutes. I use it today for any heart burn and it is resolved within a couple minutes, decades later...tying to some of your other content, they also ALWAYS had a 50 gallon wooden barrel of sauwerkraut and another full of pickles, which we raided constantly for snacks...Love your content
I enjoyed your comment like I was reading a Novel
@@renarich4942 🤣
Sounds amazing ❤
Omg I'm so glad this showed up on my feed! I've been diagnosed with GERD about 15 years ago. I've always wondered why I had this periodic, annoying cough for years. The cough would build up the mucous, and I would need to constantly clear my throat. It's a cycle. Very very helpful video! Thank you!🙏🤗
Hi how you treat your gerd symptoms?
@@williamsoutdoor7578 I take an OTC acid reducer, 20mg. I've only been needing to take it 3-4 times a week. It's been keeping it under control. Also, cutting down on coffee creamer helps too, and acidic foods.
@@michellerene951 thanks for your reply 👍
@@williamsoutdoor7578 You're welcome :)
@@williamsoutdoor7578 try boldocynara by A.Vogel. it's a natural digestive supplement. It cured my GERD in a week with no changes to my diet. i had a terrible case of GERD for a year and a half. Let me know if it works for you!
big salute to you from Bengaluru- Karnataka.
your videos are really very good and helpful.
What Dr. Berg says rings true. I have been gluten and soy free for a few years and most dairy free for several months. Morning mucus had totally disappeared. No more coughing every morning! Over Thanksgiving this year I found I could eat some cheese without getting a rash, but tried a slice of pie (gluten crust) and the morning mucus was back immediately. What do we want to live with . . . or without? It’s our choice.
Deserves a thumbs up 👍
Dr. Berg thank you so much for bringing up this special information. It sure is a blessing for many of us.
God bless you and keep you safe 🙏❤️
After commenting here, i read through some other comments and its absolutely important that these comments are allowed and are accompanied with the video. Its awesome how much genuine apreciation and adoration is shown in any of your contents comment section in any uploaded content you produced. You have my genuine respect and appreciation and i had to add that it has made an impact on my life so thank you from the deepest sentiment of that emotion do i say this from. Thank you
OMAD stopped my acid reflux instantly, I immediately was able to come off the Omeprazole. I still have mild reflux on rare occasions, but it's much better now. Still having issues with excess mucus though so thank you Dr Berg for the video!
I've had this problem since I had COVID last year I don't know but your video just showed up on my play list and I needed it so bad. The mucus in my throat almost smothers me at night. Can't wait to report back how it goes
Great. Hope this works well for you.
Dr. Berg, I completely removed grains and bread from my diet and adopted a keto diet and have taken yours and others advice on supplementing electrolytes. After about 10 days i had keto flu for just a couple days. 2-weeks into keto eating i felt better over all and have more energy. My shoulder pain stopped. I could go on and on. Also, my acid reflux has almost completely stopped. It now only occurs when i eat too late in the evening. The mucus in my throat has greatly reduced and i suspect will improve over time. Grains, pasta, bread were all causing me health issues. Not eating that crap anymore. Thank you for the great educational videos and i look forward to learning more.
And now, a year later?
How to help increase hydrochloric acid:
• Take betaine hydrochloride
• Stop consuming grains and grain-fed animal products
• Do intermittent fasting
• Avoid a typical vegan diet
• Avoid omega-6 fatty acids
• Consume more omega-3 fatty acids
Thank you Dr Berg🐱👍🏿
There are still doctors and nutritionists who will actually tell you that in order to reduce stomach acids, you need to reduce or eliminate acidic foods.
... and that eating too much fat is what causes people to become "fat."
Also, avoid Dairy products except eggs !!
In another video he mentions slippery elm capsules...it works
Thank YOU too
I agree 2 years ago I used to have a bad throat many times. I came to realize I was allergic to sugar food. I stop eating sugar food and switched to healthy food until now and never came back. Thank you
I’ve been on Protonix for nearly 2 decades now. I came down with a horrible case of low-iron deficiency anemia. I didn’t know what was going on, I honestly thought I was @ death’s door…@ 40. 😵💫 something kept nagging at me, saying to research the PPI, but then if I miss 2+ days, my entire esophagus feels like a ball of fire. It feels like a no-win situation, but this video gave me some hope! Thank you for your medical research, understanding, & advice!!! 🙏🏼 God bless!
I have so many issues that I’ve just lived with and accepted as an effect of getting older. I didn’t even realise this was an issue, I thought it was just a habit. Honestly this channel is the best thing to come to UA-cam. Praise the lord 🙌🏻🙌🏻
No. Praise Dr. Eric Berg. The Lord has been no help for me and let me suffer terribly with these symptoms for 30+ years. So many unanswered prayers. So much of my life and potential wasted.
No, praise L. Ron Hubbard.
@@andytraiger4079 God is not a genie he's not going to just give you what you want. Maybe try looking at your life and research instead of denying God.
@@andytraiger4079 have you even gotten saved? He loves you, but he was not forgive your sins, if you don’t forgive others who have hurt you. Maybe your prayers were unanswered because you regarded sin or unforgiveness in your heart. Confess your sins, repent and ask Jesus to forgive all your sins, and to come into your life and save you. Put your faith in him. Confess him as Lord with your mouth, and believe in your heart that Jesus rose from the dead. Get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you’ll be saved, and then God will hear your prayers!
Totally agreed!!!
You saved my life when I saw your ACV video years ago. My doctor had me taking nexium and it was killing me. Gerd was making my life miserable. I was coughing all the time. Once the Gerd was gone, I changed my diet to keto thanks to you and then my health totally turned around.
Are you cure from gerd? I was starting to think that it is impossible to reverse it.
what medication did you take ?
That's amazing pls share with me what did you take to make better thanks
Dr. Berg, this is exactly what I am experiencing. Thank you for always explaining these issues in such a way that’s easy to understand.
Well done. I have mucus production in my throat. I will try the Betaine hydrochloride to see. Did you find anything better please?
40 years of suffering. Dr. Berg thank you. After multiple courses of abx and prednisone for "sinus infections" and asthma. Which gave me DM and osteopenia. Then diagnosed with gerd. Put on omeprazole which weakened my esophogeal sphincter and had heartburn for 3 months. Im done. I am 70 and now have normal bone density again finally. But still clearing throat. Thank you for this video.
I wish I could find a doctor like you. Treating the cause instead of just the symptoms.
He’s already here for you!
Love watching my Doctor Berg! I feel impowered and in the know, especially when I can put this good knowledge into practice. Worth the watch, thank you!
I'm 23 and have been going through this since I was 14. It's actually the most annoying thing because after you eat it's almost as if you cannot breath. My mucus sometimes taste like stomach acid which is quite annoying too. I was honestly worried but I'm glad it's more benign that I thought
How have you been? I had exactly the same problem and now I am doing better. No more antiacids and had some apple vinegar to see if that improves my digestion. Eat three hours before you sleep. Sleep on your left side or lying on your back.
Benign means non lethal for anyone who is wondering. Learnt it today. 😊
@@rogermty1971😢
That sucks this mucus issue hit me when i was 23 im 29 now i couldnt imagine getting this when i was 14 talk about suicide… but shiid u r stronger than i, good on you. did it ever go away completely? I seriously never want to hear see feel mucus ever again i need mucus to not exist…. Lol
@@ConfusedRiver-ff6lh sadly no..
I had sleepless nights trying to shift mucus from my throat. I came off dairy and this has improved immensely. It hasn't gone away completely though
what did you replace dairy with? i don’t really care for oat milk and haven’t been convinced to try the other things i’ve seen in the market. any suggestions?
@@crystalramirezmoreno9190 goat milk is super healthy. try that
I have these problems and your information is really making sense to me. I’m going to try to get off the antacids. I’ve eaten a literal ton of those over the years. I have gone to eating once a day for a while now and it has helped. Every doctor tells me to be constantly eating but that has made me quite sick. 6 meals a day? It’s not even something I can do. I eat dinner and not much. At all restaurants, I don’t even eat half the food. If I’m starving, I eat a small yogurt later. Then nothing. It’s usually 18 to 24 hours before I eat again. That’s helped and I’ve even lost weight. Thanks for your advice. It makes sense for me.
Thank you Dr Berg for sharing so much great info with us for free. Also, thank you for teaching us all so much. You Are Changing Lives!!!
Hello Mary, How’re you doing?
Thanks for sharing this! Blessings!
Most welcome!
How do I deal with severe sinusitis
Great video! Do you recommend drinking apple cider vinegar and taking Betaine Hyorochloride?
There is one very important missing reason Dr. Berg that should be mentioned here. When you have an accident and you create a trauma reflex out of it (saving down the wrong compensation patterns that your body automatically does if one part of the body doesn't work), this will create an asymmetry of your entire body. In very severe cases, as it happened for me, this will strongly affect your throat, jaw and even ears.
After my accident many years ago, where the doctors could not rebuild my anatomy as it is supposed to be, my body changed so much over the years that my throat on one side got pinched so much that there was literally no space left in the throat. I had a lump in my throat the entire day for several years, and no one would believe me that it was due to the accident because it sounded so strange that an injury in your leg could do that. After we fixed my leg 12 years after the accident, my anatomy got back to normal, my symmetry slowly changed back over the coming years and the lump in my throat disappeared ever since big time.
And just to add: Mucus was just one of many symptoms I got due to this injury. I lived 5 years with a sudden hearing loss + tinnitus on one ear, simply because my jaw was surpressing my hearing nerves due to a wrong posture. It went away together with all other problems once my body started healing. Almost every single doctor over the years told me that I was a case for the psychiatrist.
I am currently going through what you described. Doctors don’t seem to be able to make the connection between my leg and neck injuries. I hope it doesn’t take so many years to get back to normal as it took you
He mentioned he was discussing the most common causes. If he wanted to mention every cause, he should also have mentioned many tiny mucus-like aliens from outer space may have decided to colonize your throat because it reminds them so much of the place they grew up.
Very interesting to learn of this... who would've thought that a leg problem would impact your throat area. I'm pleased for you that you are now feeling back together, sad that it took so long.
@@stephenrothman6058 I understand what you're saying ,although ,might be a tad sarcastic, but it's very informative when you learn how an impact on an area of the body can cause ill health in a completely different area that was wasn't injured initially.

As an Endoscopy RN, I always wonder if GI docs in clinic are taking with their patients about these things. So many people on here commenting they could not find any docs to help, but in our department, these are cardinal signs of digestive/motility problems. Thank you for educating folks and giving them direction to start feeling better!
They just told me I have asthma. Never had asthma before and I’m in my 50’s. They prescribed inhalers and montelukast and nasal sprays. None helped, just got side effects.
@@haveyouflossedtodayI get reactions to air pollutants, especially high ozone levels.
I've taken the same medications for years. I don't think it does much. If I use albuterol solution in a nebulizer it helps loosen mucous and clear lungs.
I’ve been to a number of gastro docs over the years due to constant bloating and they never have an answer but a sheet saying to stop eating certain foods that cause acidity. I never even tied my phlegm issue to my stomach issues so this was a huge help. More than any specialists I’ve seen.
I had an endoscopy done. All I was told was that I had excess of mucus and that they found nothing cancerous, etc. But if you reference my comment above, you will see how I remedied my problem. He really does educate people.
@Teaganderry Unfortunately a lot of specialists and definitely GPs did not think like you. Maybe some do now, but I have had to research my problems mostly myself. When I went to a GP with a specialty in Diabetes II and Pre-diabetes AND hit/miss research on the Internet - it takes awhile to find credible info, believe me - some symptoms started to become clearer. When I cut down processed foods, mostly sugar, the excess mucus went away entirely. Now I notice with stress and poor eating habits - again, for me too much sugar! the problem is returning.
TY SO MUCH FOR YOUR VERY IMPORTANT INFOS DEAR DR ERIC BERG I FOLLOW ALL YOUR VIDEOS STAY WELL AND SAFE
I hadn't noticed I had gerd! I realised it after this video! I constantly feel liquid from the stomach going up a little but didn't pay any attention! Wow! Thank you so much!
Hi Dr. Berg. I feel like I'm back at HU when I watch your videos. I come to class faithfully/daily... multiple times a day! lol! Thanks for spreading knowledge & genuinely trying to help.
Everyone needs Dr Berg in there life! The power of knowledge!! Thank you Dr. Berg!
Dear Doctor Berg, you Sir are simply wonderful. Thank you again.
Thanks for sharing! God bless!
