Clearing of throat as if something was in there - part 2

I have had the whole throat clearing thing going on for awhile now and i started taking betaine hcl and probiotics as well as slippery elm and DGL. I am still having the throat clearing though and am wondering if its because the hcl i bought doesn't have pepsin in it, which i have heard is crucial in its ability to work. Do you know if the one you were taking has pepsin in it?

IM soooo! so greatful to find this thread online, because my hisband has had this problem of throut clearing for roughly 10 years and it continues today.so

 thanks you guys for all the tips.
