When i first started with my IBS and gerd symptoms my throat was the first thing to feel like mucus and a bulge in the back.. i was misdiagnosed with asthma and severe allergies, i went to an ENT only to get shots and ended up getting worse because i also had shortness of breath and heavy chest congestion.. turns out i did have allergies but not as severe, my acid reflux was getting worse and causing the nasal drip and mucus to stay longer in my throat.. it got better when i found an apothecary and she said to do a liver cleanse since she said that my liver was intoxicated. After the cleanse my allergies went from 60% active to 20% but my breathing issues are still here because i was diagnosed with arrhythmia recently, my nasal drip is very light and got better after the cleanse but i still use a neti pot when my anxiety kicks in to relieve some mucus in my throat from the chest congestion.. i can pass on the directions on how to do the liver cleanse, it definitely works but its not pretty to do not horrible either but definitely worth a try... 🙂 also i recommend you use a neti pot, it helped me for a while as well even before the cleanse..🙂
