I hope you get answers and I can identify with some of the things your saying. I have mucus and post Nadal srip and a cough. My post nasal drip was even seen during a endoscope. I constantly take mucinex but it's awful. My husband bought me the navage system I used it twice a day and ots incredible the flem that comes out I also have nasal congestion which I use Flonase for and a cough all this started shortly after gallbladder surgery. I can't explain it. I have a sinus dr. I have seen him twice and scheduled to see him again next week. He has not helped on bit. I also have dry mouth so he referred me to rheumatology which I have been waiting months to get in. Still waiting
I thought my allergies were worse so I got retested last week. According to them the only allergy was to mold it just doesn't make sense. My husband and I both disagree. I used to have allergies to dust, pollen and birch. I have taken allergy drops for years for dust allergies. Not According to this allergist. Then why this morning did I wake up with watery itchy eyes? I am clueless who to turn to next.

I suggest a SIBO test for bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. It causes many symptoms and it is uncomfortable- gas, bloating, indigestion, pain, GERD, fatigue to name a few. This is what I was diagnosed with. Antibiotics are not good, they deal with symptoms and you need to find the cause of your symptoms. SIBO is only one cause but it’s common.
You also mentioned an allergy to mold. That is a red flag. I was exposed to mold in our home and didn’t know it. Symptoms were similar to SIBO in my case. But it can effect the body many ways. If your doctor does not know how to test you to find out which molds your body is reacting too, find one that does. You also need to test your home to find where the mold exists and have it eradicated. Otherwise you will continually be exposed and not get better if your body is reacting to mold.
There is an expert in Mold I consulted with since I didn’t know anything about it, recommended by my doctor. He was priceless in information and next steps to take. But the first step is confirming you have mold in your system.
Best to you, it’s not easy finding help.
Happy to answer any questions if you have any.
