COPD question

This sounds like a question your physician or pulmonologist. We could come up with a dozen examples - like that dairy can cause mucus production - but this is best asked of your doctor. Good luck.

I heard a Dietician today say that dairy does not create mucus...it does line your throat and can give that feeling...which may be relieved by sipping water to thin the coating.

@narelled23, huh, and every time I have drank cow’s milk I have mucus in my throat. I switched to pea protein “milk” for several reasons.

Diet has a lot to do with mucus . I notice more when I consume oily foods . Also dairy items cause problems . Certain vegetables and some pastas. Rice bothers me also . I also use mullion tea . Most people with OCD generally have mucus . The mullion doesn’t prevent mucus , it brings it up. I , like others , am bothered if I cannot get mucus up every day . I also use the inhaler , Trelegy.

@hraka13 You should talk to your doctor. My mucus problems are affected by my sinuses. My doctor prescribed Ipatropium bromide nasal spray. I take the nasal spray in the am and pm. Everything time I use to get sick it always started in my sinuses. I also have alot of allergies that can also irritate my nose and take zertec and take Mullen. Hope you find a solution.

@masscopd, I’m lactose intolerant plus don’t want the hormones so I quit drinking cow’s milk. I eat cheese and yogurt only.

@narelled23
I am a milkaholic and consume lots of dairy.
Milk, Yogurt, Cottage Cheese, and cheese.
COPD and I do not have a great problem with mucus. Yes there is some but I take Mucinex X 2 AM PM.
Stay hydrated and such. Maybe I am just blessed but so far so good.
