Every day I cough up what looks like a scab with ugly mucous and blood

Hi
I have food allergies that they never test for, such as garlic, so it could be an untested allergy, or a result of GERD. I did the elimination diet to find that. For my orange tongue I saw many doctors, with no real answers. So, I understand your frustration. Has anyone suggested a Naturopath or functional doctor? They have a tendency to see answers where other doctors do not look. I hope you all find answers soon.

Thanks for your reply. I looked back on what I was tested for allergies and it’s all environmental (trees, plants, pet hair, dust, mold, etc.) so I suppose it could be food related. Although I would think I my body would respond to an antihistamine in that case. I’ll definitely think about an elimination diet.
I have been wanting to see a naturopath/functional medicine doctor but haven’t yet found one that I want to try and am a little hesitant as I’ve heard insurance may not cover visits/tests.
