Well, after some time now on a high raw, vegan diet, I can say my mucus problem has decreased ALOT!
Since writing this original post, (kiwigirl) over a year ago, it is only about 3 weeks ago that I have been consistently high raw. But the results are pretty good! I would say it is now down about 60% of what it was, in just a few short weeks.
IMHO, it is, without a shadow of a doubt, DIET that is the cause of mucus build up. Wheat and gluten issues may also be connected, as that has been cut out. Lots of green juices and smoothies is my main intake at the moment, with a little whole foods.
The answer is SO simple! Search out mucus causing foods and there is a book 'the mucusless diet' which is also very good.
I look forward to the day where I am mucus free, but I know I still have a build up in my system that is going to take a while to fully clear, but looking forward to when that day comes.It is surprising just how much mucus we have in our bodies and it won't be cleared overnight, it will take time, so go for it! Will keep people further updated.
Cheers

Hi Kiwicath29
Thanks for the friend acceptance! I've been doing the low-fat, high carb vegan thing for about 2 months now (Freelee/Raw til 4) and was excited to find someone else giving it a try! I plan to go higher with the raw now that we're in Spring (I'm next door in Australia (assuming you're a Kiwi)). Still hacking, clearing, coughing and straining, but plan to stick it out until at least the New Year. Good to hear you've had some success; I'm desperately hoping for the same - keep in touch!

Hi I am 36 and have had this same problem since the last year, I have an appointment at the Doctor's office in February of 2015, I am constantly clearing my throat and get up everyday with a stuffy nose, I read that it is some dripping behind the throat that was caused or could be the cause of being around dust or smoke...I use to smoke but thankfully I Quit like almost around the same time I got this problem, road works were being done close to my home and the Doctor said it could be the dust that had a reaction....I hope you find your problem soon as well as mine, hope we do not have to go through Long term surgery etc..This is over bearing...I know I may not answer your Question but add to your frustration...Because I know how it is.Thanks for your post atleast I am not alone :)

Its like any other cavity? A little bit of culture will be removed, and then your alright til next time.
Or several backflips in the surf when the wave strikes you. Same principle.
I should mention drinking good amounts of good water too in your diet, that's wonderful for everything all over and in you. That's what we run on.

I am feeling the same thing and trying to figure it out, this all happened when I started fermenting my own foods and drinks so I thought maybe I got a bad bacteria stream, but have not had any fermented foods or drinks for 4 months and the feeling is still there and gets worse after eating and drinking,

I share your pain, but I've also found help. My excessive, clear mucaus was cause by the lack of digestive enzymes. I simply take them BEFORE eating, and all is well. Hope this helps!

have had problems for years with thick mucus, and have now found a solution, I hope this works for others, I clear my throat about once every hour and amazingly this has stopped all the thick mucus, I can hardy believe it, I still clear my throat even though there is nothing to clear now, and when I get up in a morning I don't cough, I used to be coughing for hours. I have no idea why this works, but if it works for someone else please comment. Just in case anyone isn't sure what I mean by clearing my throat, it's when you do those two little coughs with your mouth closed
