Sue, I find it very interesting in your reply you stated only trying one mucus thinning item. Have you had experience or heard of this possibility being better than multiple mucus thinning treatments? I know and understand you’re not a Doctor, but I believe experience is a wonderful teaching tool. Furthermore as far as healthy diet, do you know of any particular literature or website to get some guidance on on foods to have while fighting Bronchiectasis.. thank-you. God Bless all you Mentors for the help you provide us.

Actually, I use Mucinex la and NAC capsules for mucus thinning. If my mucus feels "thick" I also drink a cup or 2 of Breathe Easy by Traditional Medicinals.
As for diet, my concern during active infection was to get enough calories to maintain my weight. As far as anything special, I'm not aware of any site.
You need to remember that bronchiectasis is not something we fight, it's a condition we live with. When I was really struggling with low appetite from infection, I was advised to eat high- calorie nutrient dense foods. Otherwise as far as I know just a healthy diet
