Why do I cough up mucus at the end of every meal?

When I do my airway clearance late morning I cough up a combination of colored mucus and white foamy stuff. The addition of the white foamy stuff started happening about 1.5 years ago? Maybe 2? Prior to that I never had it. I have asked my pulmo about it a few times. He does not seem to know but did say it could be from air getting into the nebulizing process or some such thing. I know that sounds confusing but the white foamy stuff does seem full of air. But the more I hear and read it seems like acid reflux is a known cause of it. I also clear my throat a lot. But wonder if that is from reflux or simply the food sort of sticks to the throat due to the mucus/infection?

Hello again Irene. Hope you are having some good days.
I went back into this thread.....and reread some of our posts due to forever having the throat clearing problem with the white, bubbly foamy sputum.
Did you ever find out if you had developed acid reflux....LPR, Hiatal Hernia etc.??? Are you still bringing up the white foamy bubbly sputum, annoying STUFF!!!
I am very much convinced that it is due to my Hiatal Hernia that NJH noted/diagnosed after the testing the gastroenterologist did. I truly don't know for sure but the Hernia sure appears to be the reason for it. An NJH video I had found a while back of a different gastroenterologist at NJH spoke of a Hiatal Hernia causing a throat clearing problem.

Wow, I have the same thing and didn’t think much of it.
