Answer 1

The reason people are informed to stop drinking dairy products when they have an overproduction of mucous is because dairy products are one of the most common food sensitivities/allergies. But dairy is only one of many, many foods that people can be sensitive to. Other common food sensitivities are wheat, corn, cane sugar, etc. I'd highly recommend going to a naturopath to be tested for other food sensitivities. I had terrible mucous and congestion for months and months. When I finally cut out my personal food sensitivities the mucous went away, my tummy bloat vanished, I'm not longer constipated all the time and I lost 15 pounds without even trying. Now I'm at the ideal weight for my height, I have much more energy and I'd highly recommend you try this. You deserve relief!

Mucus In My Mouth

Answer 3

Stopping the dairy is a good start, but pig meat also causes mucus in the mouth.

So stop eating ham and bacon.

It takes a couple of months for the effect to be noticeable but give it a try.

Failing that ask to see a dietitian.

Answer 4

Cut out the milk products and see if this helps. Also an allergic reaction to something else might be causing the problem. Do you have cats around or dogs? This is something to think about. have you ever been tested for allergies? You shoud think about getting tested.

Answer 5

Mouth is the most filthiest organ in the human body. It is unprotected to say the least. we keep opening our mouth allowing in germs and bacteria. There is no protection against that. Added to that it is damp and dark inside making it a good condition for mucus to multiply.

Answer 6

Sounds like you may have a reaction to diary products.

Try cutting out all diary products for 6 weeks and see if it improves things. Nothing made with milk, cheese, yoghurt etc.

It's helped me a lot

Answer 7

Are you noticing that you are snoring more at nights? I find I get more mucus if I snored the night before. I also have allergies, and sleep apnea. Maybe you could ask about those too.
