@mitch8006 Hi Mitch, and welcome to Connect. Based on you not having responses yet I suspect your symptoms are not symptoms that others with Gerd have. I never had Gerd but I do have Barretts Esophagus which Gerd sometimes progresses to. I have not head of either of these conditions causing mucus, but I am not a health care professional, just a patient as all of the members on Connect are.
Are you seeing a gastroenterologist? If not I would find one, hopefully one who specializes in these digestive conditions. If you are close to a large medical center more than likely there are some there.
I suggest that you re-post this in the discussion on Gerd. You may get more answers there.

Mitch, could the “mucus” be excessive acidic saliva coming from undigedted food in your stomach? I’ve had GERD 30 years and every other stomach disorder, including gastroparesis. 1/12/18 stomach wrap (fundoplication) surgery. Didn’t stop excessive “foam/saliva” in my mouth 24/7 for over 2 years now. Between that, bladder and bowel incontinence, my neurologist diagnosed me with autonomic neuropathy which causes nerve damage to our organs. Hope we both find a remedy! God bless you.

Thanks for the information.

I am seeing a gastro specialist and I've voiced all of my concerns but he seems to be stuck on thinking it can only be GERD and has pretty much left me hanging on taking PPI's and won't even do a 24 hour PH test. I think i'm going to work on finding a different doctor and getting a second opinion.
