Sorry to hear you also have the thick mucus after eating, no fun at all.
I don't remember if you said you had a hiatal hernia?
I do have a hiatal hernia and I can't figure out if it is the BE with mucus or the hiatal hernia that is causing the gathering of mucus in the throat after eating. It is thicker after eating. I read that a hiatal hernia can cause mucus, yes after eating.
I have been fully at this BE routine therapy for less than a year and hope eventually it goes away...but if it is the hiatal hernia causing it...probably will still be happening.
Thank you for sharing what you also experience.

@reneemc @blm1007blm1007 I too get the mucus in the throat after eating. I have had a full gerd workup and all tests negative for gerd, so, at least in my case, that doesn’t seem to be it. The only time I really cough is while eating or after eating, which is why I pushed for a gerd workup. I return to GI doctor in a couple weeks to discuss all the testing and next steps, but he has been very uninterested in the problem, and unmotivated to address. There seems to be this attitude that since I have BE, it’s natural that I cough. But I only really cough when I eat (or right after) and why would that be if the cough is BE related? Admittedly the cough really borders on throat clearing, but even more to my point. Though I do know many here have that throat clearing sensation so it’s confusing to me since mine is specifically related to meal times.
