@killelea Welcome to the group. A short version of my case.
I was diagnosed with Bronchiectesis (2009)and MAC (2014) in along with some related esophagus issues called dysphagia (2017) . I have never taken the antibiotic cocktail. My main problem was the mucus. Since I’ve been diagnosed with asphagia in 2017 after a video deglutition xray I have to thicken my liquid because it was the caise of my bronchietasis. I am also taking Dr Ohirra professionnal probiotic and had a bronchoscopy in september 2017 to wash the lungs and I do not have the MAC anymore. Since I am thickening my liquid and take those strong probiotic I have no more mucus. If you take the cocktail you may want to keep your immune system strong by taking probiotic 4 hours before or after the antibiotic is ver safe not to interfere. Put your faith in God to guide you to the best solution to stay healthy!

nick, how do you thicken your liquid? I just got back from my Dr. and I had new nodules in my right lung. she said is aspiration. Silent acid reflux now I have to thicken my liquid and cut my liquid intake. What kind a probiotic you taking? Thanks! Blessing to all! Cila.

@cila if that is what your Dr said you may want to consider taking an xray called video deglutition.  That will determine what level of thickness you need. Then if you aspire liquid they will tell you what level.  You might as well do it right! This is how

I was diagnosed. Go on the web and ask for Video deglutition video.  You will see how the xray is done.  You can also request to get the minimum of radiation in the food and liquid they will use for the xray.

In my case it was the clear liquid so I need to thicken my liquid at the level of NECTAR. I order on the internet SIMPLY THICK it tells you how much to put for a 4 oz so this is how you thicken your liquid.

Probiotic i order the professional probiotic from Dr Ohirrah. Many website sells it but I order directly from Dr Ohirrah’s website because you can talk to a nutritionist for advise.  Those probiotic are also a detox and on the box it says You might have

a bit of diarrhea and I did for a whole month so do not panic with that. It is a normal process. I am taking one before bed and one in the morning. I feel they are the best of the best. 

I also realized that since I take them I feel great and no more slimy in my throat! I also feel my immune system is much stronger fighting all that goes around.

Do not worry you will get better i had xrays also where I had more nodules in the past and my last one was amazing!  Your best energy is for You to decide you will do everything necessary to have healthy lungs again.  You will!

Last summer I also had NAET allergies treatment. 

Good luck and do not hesitate to ask question. You can send me your phone number in the private email and I will call you as soon as we are done moving in our new purchased home in Largo Fl. XxxNICK

Thank you nick, I really appreciate your advised. I check the video and get the x-ray done. I noticed when eat bread get a lot of mucus. the mucus is on my throat I though mucus is coming from lungs. Anyway, I'm trying to clear the mucus and also I get so tired easy. Thanks again and Blessing to you. Cila

@cila Cila if you feel tired it could be your lungs.  Have you tried Clear Lungs from Ridgecrest to see if it help you breath better and if it reduces your mucus.  I used the blue bottle to Relieve congestion, Support free breathing, keep Airways open and Balane

mucus levels.  When I had a lot of mucus in my throat  I was using And didn’t breath as usual I was taking Clear Lungs until I felt better.  Do you feel you have stomach Acid.  My Dr infectiologist told me that when you have a lot of acid reflux it can cause

mucus and that mucus gets to the lungs to cause bronchectasis.  Do you have to take acid reflux med. if so you need to change your diet for non acid food so no fried food, no sugar, no milk product etc. You must detox your liver also. My Dr recommended Milk

Thistle from Hübner ( the brown bottle that can be ordered on line) Take it as prescribed and do that until your mucus is almost gone.  If after a month you don’t see a difference then you may consider another option.  In my case I saw a big difference. Now

if I have fried fish (as a treat) I take some right after my meal.  It is a very complicated problem but when it is under control and you keep it that way, you have no more problem.  You feel normal again.  Do what needs to be done!  Get rid of bad habits.

 Kiss! Kiss!  Nick

@cila, I had that happen every time I ate bread or any other kind of food that contained gluten. Try to avoud gluten for awhile and see if the mucous doesn't let up. I couldn't eat bread or gluten for most of my life. I can eat it now. I don't know what changed except that I have been on antibiotics since 2013.
