Have you tried to use symbicort inhaler? I have a friend, she has BE and MAC for at least 20-30 years. She is 84. She has no asthma, shes doesn't even need albuterol, but recently before she uses aerobika she takes the symbicort, she said that helps her to bring the mucus out, and works very well for her. I know to suggest to use steroid is not a good idea, but anything helps to bring mucus out, I think it may be worthwhile to try.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Ling this was an old post and since I discovered I needed to be on oxygen which I am now. I am not having any issue getting up the mucus currently. My issue is that I produce too much and constantly fight chronic infection. I have noticed lately that taking a B vitamin a few hours before my nebulizing works as an expectorant if I need one.
