To all above....my story.
I started having to clear my throat about 10 years ago in the mornings. Some mornings I brought up just what appeared to be clear sputum. However at times what came up was a darker yellow/green gel like substance/sputum. Eventually the clearing of the throat got worse and as of today it is a sticky, thick substance that comes up to the throat that makes me want to clear it out. At times I do bring up and out the light green/yellow mucus plug(s). I was diagnosed with BE 8/2022 and afterwards I had an coloscopy and endoscopy. The endoscopy showed a small hiatal hernia. The coloscopy and endoscopy did not indicate acid reflux. I understand, if I am correct, a hiatal hernia does cause over production of mucus. I also have the clear mucus, the foamy white bubbly (water,moisture) that comes out when I clear my throat, esophagus. This clearing goes on all day long and the need to clear is worse after eating or drinking (I drink water only). Any similarities for others who have posted?

I also have the mucus all day long, especially after I drink water. I am being treated for GERD but I also have the chest pain after eating and drinking. Working with GI doctor along with ID, ENT and pulmonary docs.
It’s frustrating but praying us through these trials.
Best wishes for all.

Your story sounds so similar to mine. I also have a small hiatal hernia and even though my doctors never say it could be a problem, now I wonder? I have the mucus in my throat almost all day as well. I drink only water also.
I am losing hope that doctors know enough about this disease to help much. So I stick with saline nebulizer, good diet, and whatever exercise I have the energy to do. I wish I had some good tips for you, but I am at a loss. Mostly now I am just anxious and scared! Thank you for sharing your story.
