I did not experience that exactly but I can give you some tips that might help with mucus in general. eliminate dairy and soy from his diet. they are mucus factories! Add fresh lemon or lime to water and drink up to 1/3 of body weight in oz of water daily. (slowly through out the day). Invest in a good masticating style juicer. Omega and champion make good ones. His body is no doubt still damaged from treatments (as mine was) and he needs to be drinking as many nutrients as he can. juicing can be tasty and fun but the benefits are amazing!
Hang in there. You'll be in my thoughts.0 -
Thanks for your reply. He drinks alot of water during the day (that's all he drinks!) I'll try the lemon or lime. I HOPE this will eventually get better. It's been awful.Racht said:I did not experience that exactly but I can give you some tips that might help with mucus in general. eliminate dairy and soy from his diet. they are mucus factories!
