I was told at NJH, after testing, that I do not have acid reflux. NJH did GI testing and found a hiatal hernia which can cause mucus and throat clearing and acid reflux. However if the hiatal hernia is causing mucus/reflux it's not causing me the typical symptoms. It is more like silent reflux for me. Hard to tell where it is originating from...however it is what it is. mucus.

My mucus/mucus plugs were green in color when I, every so often, found myself needing to clear my throat before diagnosis. That was before being diagnosed a year or so after telling the PCP doctor something is wrong and telling him about what I was bringing up. He finally did a C Scan about a year and a half after my seeing him multiple, multiple times due to it and telling him about it. The C Scan was ordered by him due to the weight loss problem. So for me it was about a year and a half before my diagnosis after my original concerns of saying "something is wrong". I think he was a surprised as I was with the results of the CScan and showed great concern for me.
Regarding the color, as of now I do not have the green color mucus, mucus plug/puss I use to have. It is very light yellow, nearly looking white. However I do have the white bubbly frothy matter that comes up also much of the time. I have MAI and have not started the antibiotics, my choice for now.
Thanks for your response.
