I haven't had any trouble with thrush but I do have loads of yeast

infections. Also, I cannot get rid of the congestion. It is deep down in my

chest and I have been taking antibiotics for 20 days. No luck.

Hope yours goes away sooner than mine.

Hi Kaye,

I realize that my ideas on things are not orthodox, but here goes. You say

you have yeast infections but don't have trouble with thrush. You have a lot

of congestion and are on antiobiotics and it won't clear up. I hate to tell

you this but that is classice for yeast overgrowth. You don't have to be

clogged up with " cottage cheese " in your digestive tract to have a yeast

overgrowth. I know this because I have experienced it myself.

The doctor kept giving me antiobiotics to clear up congestion along with

other ailments. It just didn't work. If anything, it got worse. Anyhow, I

stopped the antiobiotics and went on a yeast free diet. It was not until

about 3 years after that my new doctor prescribed me Diflucan to help clear

yeast infections which I was having trouble with again. I tell you, the bit

of lingering congestion, ear popping and other things cleared right up. And,

I kept totally clear of sugar and am careful to this day with my diet. I

have never had another yeast infection and my congestion has never returned.

Just something to think about.

[Guest guest]

Thank you. I have a doctor appointment Monday and I will definitely explore

this. Kaye.

Well, it's quite common with weaken muscles for congestion to occur,

especially from coughing due to any kind of throat irritation. You

cough, and then your throat/air way reacts by producing secretions. Then

if it doesn't get cleared out, it goes further in your airway & causes

congestion. I know you already know this. But if it continues to

reoccur & hang around for awhile, then it would be a concern. If your

eyes or nose aren't bothering you, most likely it isn't allergies.

Unless you feel your sinuses draining down your throat. Otherwise

congestion is from the inability to clear secretions out. That's why

when you have a cold you remain congested until the cold is gone,

because you're not able to cough it all up because your muscles aren't

as strong as they should be...

P.S.I have a trach, if I have a coughing attack, I get congested until I

suction it out.

Re: New Mom Here

Jay,

Mind if I ask a few more questions? Leo turned 2 in April, so he

wouldn't quite understand the timing, although he learned how

to move around in his standing dani rather quickly, so I suppose

we could train him to use the cough assist as well. How often

during the day do you use it with Jordan? Is it something that is a

regular routine with him or do you use it only when he is

congested? Does he use a nebulizer with albuteral (sp?) also?

Our pulmonologist doesn't seem too concerned about Leo's

congestion issues because his oxygen levels are always fine

and he can hear that he's moving air through his lungs just fine.

He did give us the albuteral last time, but as he was writing the

prescription for it he said " Well, it may not help, but it can't hurt. "

I

sometimes feel like I'm being a worry-wart, but I guess that's

part of being a parent. It's nice to have a group of people who

have BTDT and can give some insight on what to do.

hmmm, very interesting. I think I may have mild allergies--my nose often is

mildly stuffed up, or runny, nothing big, but i also know my lungs are weak. im

always able to clear the congestion fairly quickly, and its a rare occurance

when it does happen, so Im not toooo worried. my dad almost always gets

congested after he eats, and he is AB. His dr said it could be allergies (guess

thats the common answer given LOL)...does your suction for your trach clear

congestion all the way down to the lungs?--or is it just like stuff at the back

of throat?

Suctioning goes down to where your trachea branches to your lungs. For

excessive drainage in month & throat I use what they call a Yonker, like

dentists use. aka oral suctioning..

Oh, by the way your lungs aren't weak or bad. Just your skeletal muscle

are weak, a.k.a. Diaphragm... Not major but just enough to where

coughing becomes difficult to bring up excessive secretions w/ a cold.

That's not true with everybody Cody, when I have suction I have it

quite deep in my lungs to clear my secretions. For me personally

it's a waste of time just suctioning to the end of my trachy.

Hi,

Sometimes there is a lot of mucous that is secreted when you swallow or your oesophagus is blocked - but are you allergic to anything? Congestion of your throat is often present when the body is reacting to an allergen. You don't always react immediately - a delayed reaction is always possible. Your body could also be reacting to the irritation of fluid regurgitated from your oesophagus.

I have had an awful cough lately which starts as a tickle in my throat and then I cough till some mucous is freed. I thought it was just the irritation of achalasia reflux of acid made from retained food in the oesophagus. However yesterday I did not take any Magnesium and B6 tablets and my throat cleared up and I have not coughed all day. These tablets contain milk sugar and I thought I was getting away with it ! I am allergic to milk and it would seem I was having a delayed reaction.

Do tell us who you are or pick a nick name ! Do also tell us more about yourself and ask questions. Welcome aboard !

hello, i'm new to this group and have a question. i've had achalasia for probably 15 years and diagnosed for the last 3. i thought it was ulcers before. lately i've had a lot of congestion, finding it hard to clear my throat. anyone else had a problem like this. thanks

[Guest guest]

Many of us have more problems with Achalasia when we are congested, have

allergies, or a cold. I am thankful that I don't get that way very often,

because I KNOW I will feel worse when I do. I have more swallowing issues, and

I get more spasms when I have a cold. I find that my spasms overall are helped

by taking calcium/magnesium supplements regularly. I also have less trouble

when I eat a lower carb diet, cut sugar and cut starchy stuff. That's the way

I live now, but I still carry a bottle of water with me all the time just in

case I get a spasm.

Hi ,

What are the calcium and magnesium supplements you take called ? I have tried several - two of them have milk sugar in them and have an allergy warning, and the third was a liquid which was so acid I nearly died of heartburn !!

It has been the one with the milk sugar base that I am now sure have caused my cough.

If you still have the bottle, could you list all the ingredients for me? I have trouble with various things making me cough, too, and would love to compare notes and look for common denominators.

Herbs with expectorant properties help the body clear mucus from the airways and you breathe easier. Drinking soothing herbal teas can provide natural relief from sinus and chest congestion. Warming and stimulating to the lungs, angelica is used to ease congestion in flu and colds. Anise Anise is an expectorant that is also antiseptic to the mucous membranes. [33] Cardamom Cardamom is an expectorant and decongestant. It can be

added to thyme and taken as a steam inhalant for congestion of the lungs. [33] Colt's Foot You will notice by reading the characteristics of coltsfoot that it is both emollient and expectorant. It will soothe the tissues of the throat as well as cause phlegm to be expelled. [15] Elecampane Elecampane, notably the phytochemical inulin, is a pretty good expectorant assisting in breaking up bronchial congestion. Inulin also aids in maintaining a good balance of intestinal bacteria. [27] Eucalyptus The pungent vapors of eucalyptus help break up phlegm and bronchial congestion, a welcome action for anyone with bronchitis or a cold. It's cineole is an antiseptic that helps combat bad breath, fight spasms, and kill bacteria and fungi. [27] Hyssop The pytochemical marrubin helps break up congestion. Two other chemicals, diosmin and ursolic acid relieve inflammation. Hyssop is our best source of diosin, which protects capillaries and eases tissue swelling.

> Herbs with expectorant properties help the body clear mucus from

the airways and you breathe easier. Drinking soothing herbal teas

can provide natural relief from sinus and chest congestion.

> Warming and stimulating to the lungs, angelica

is used to ease congestion in flu and colds. Anise Anise is an

expectorant that is also antiseptic to the mucous membranes. [33]

Cardamom Cardamom is an expectorant and decongestant. It can be

added to thyme and taken as a steam inhalant for congestion of the

lungs. [33] Colt's Foot You will notice by reading the

characteristics of coltsfoot that it is both emollient and

expectorant. It will soothe the tissues of the throat as well as

cause phlegm to be expelled. [15] Elecampane Elecampane, notably

the phytochemical inulin, is a pretty good expectorant assisting in

breaking up bronchial congestion. Inulin also aids in maintaining a

good balance of intestinal bacteria. [27] Eucalyptus The pungent

vapors of eucalyptus help break up phlegm and bronchial congestion,

a welcome action for anyone with bronchitis or a cold. It's cineole

is an antiseptic that helps combat bad breath, fight

> spasms, and kill bacteria and fungi. [27] Hyssop The

pytochemical marrubin helps break up congestion. Two other

chemicals, diosmin and ursolic acid relieve inflammation. Hyssop is

our best source of diosin, which protects capillaries and eases

tissue swelling. [27] Thyme In respiratory conditions thyme is

antiseptic and a bronchodilator and expectorates mucus from the

Suzie you wouldn't be able to use any of this on a 1 year old baby would

you? I shared this information (giving full credit of course my love) and I

told the person to check with a professional herbalist or Holistic healer in

her area before giving anything like this to a 1 year old. Did I do the

right thing? Or could they be used on a baby? Thanks so much.

In my understanding of the holistic healing process, the foods and drinks that

" cleanse " parts of the body remove toxins, which must then be eliminated from

the body. The elimination can occur anywhere there is an " exit " - for example,

via the skin, kidneys, colon, lungs, etc. When you drink kombucha and rashes or

congestion show up and persist, it might be a good time to look at the big

picture and evaluate why toxins might be trying to get out via mucus in the

sinuses. I'm a patient of this type of cleansing approach, not a practitioner,

so I can't say much more except to suggest that a person who knows about herbs

and cleansing might be of value to you. HTH, Eve
