Why do I still have lots of mucous/phlegm and what can I do about it?
My diet is fairly clean. I eat minimal dairy (a bit of cheese here and there and some kefir every so often). I eat fruit for breakfast, lunch is usually my biggest meal, and supper is usually vegetables and a carb of some sort.
Even after following a hypo-allergenic diet for more than one month and a cleanse at the same time nothing really seemed to change.
I have also done two - three day homemade juice fasts with no change.
Any insight is appreciated.
One other question: what is a great whole food (non-dairy) source of friendly bacteria for the gut?
Cheers!

This is a reply to # 861,960Thanks Trapper,
I have had a bottle of Lugols for a while and all I have done is foot painting. Generally I try to get my minerals from whole foods but I may give internal Lugols a shot. Start slow and listen to my body.
On a slightly different note. Does Colloidal Silver kill the good guys in your gut?
Cheers!

This is a reply to # 861,926Perhaps you should eliminate dairy entirely for 1 month.
Do you eat any grains? These can be mucous forming. Particularly if they haven't been soaked/sprouted.
You might even be gluten intolerant.
You may have a food allergy to some vegetable or fruit.
Something in the environment?
Fermented vegetables such as sauerkraut and kimchi can have lots of beneficial bacteria. Also, you can make kefir with coconut water. There is also kombucha tea, and rejuvelac, and other drinks with various living organisms in them. You can make these yourself! You might want to check out Body Ecology, they are very big in these food sources of probiotics and sell starter cultures, among other things.- Re: why am I still getting the mucou... oreocrackers

This is a reply to # 862,591Thanks Squeeky,
You listed some great options. Its funny cause I went to that website you mentioned and I am using one of the products they sell. It is a fermented whole grain drink (strangely resembles beer) and it actually tastes quite good! I like your idea of the Coconut Kefir. I have some Kefir starter so I will give that a go. I have not noticed a difference when taking probiotic pills so back to the whole food route!
Cheers!
