I have post-nasal drip.
Do you know what that is? Post-nasal drip is when snot drips down your throat due to leakage from the back of your nose. I know what you’re thinking, but get past the disgust factor and you know what? You’ve got an open phlegm-faucet in your throat that’s constantly pouring a fresh supply of wannabe-snot down your breathing and eating tubes.
Basically, you’re constantly eating your own snot.
Do you know how fricking annoying it is to be constantly eating your own snot? It’s not as if I enjoy it, you know. Snot is not at the top of my list of favorite foods, it doesn’t even make the top 100. I mean, when’s the last time you heard of anyone entering a fast food restaurant and saying, “I’ll have the Big Phlegm Happy Meal with a side order of Coagulated Blood-fries and a coke, please. Oh, and that order’s to go.”
Mmm-mmmm. Now that’s good eating.
Even worse than eating it though, is feeling it constantly dripping down my throat. It both tickles and repulses me every time I swallow. I find myself constantly clearing my throat in the hopes of dislodging the mucus, but no matter how obnoxiously I make the “Heh-HEGH!” noise, nothing ever comes up.
And if you think that’s bad, it’s even worse at night.
That’s because when I go to bed the slow drip becomes a fricking flood. I find myself swallowing twice as much as normal for fear of drowning on my own snot while I’m asleep. Then, just when I think I might have the whole breath/swallow ratio figured out well enough to actually sleep, the stupid snot begins drying out in my throat! That makes even breathing painful plus I start coughing as if I had swallowed a duck with bronchitis! Right now I’m so frustrated with my nasal passages that I hate them. In fact, I hate every thing today. I hate my nose, I hate tissues with aloe, I hate daytime TV, I hate people, I hate you, I hate life, but most of all I hate, HATE, HATE post-nasal drip!
Aaargh! I’m out of fricking tissues again! Damn you, poetic irony!
Oh God, I am so glad I didn’t order the supersized McSnotBurger at MickeyD’s!

i suppose you could think of it as recycling…
wot I want to know is: is it hi-cal or lo ? Was giving me really bad stomach until I started taking cider vinegar every night – 2 teaspoons in hot water with 1 teaspoon honey. Drink it down, it will sort your stomach out. Thats the only way I’m coping at the moment. Antibiotics have not worked. Trying to get on a website of a holistic practitioner as I’ve heard he’s good. Try typing Dr Ali into Google.
Dread to think how many spoons of snot I’m swallowing per day. Started after I had bad head cold / fluey thing in Jan.
Keep ya chin up mate! (stops the snot coming out)
Hey, I too have post-nasal drip. I describe it to people as snot soup, it is horrible. It gives me horrible stomach problems and I lose my appetite. Other than the cider vinegar (which i will try thank you very much) are you taking other medication? Please contact me, i am suffering :-(
Thank you

Your snot problem is most likely a result of dairy consumption. Even if you don’t drink milk or eat chese, you probably still consume dairy. “Non-Dairy” creamer has a major ingredient called casien (sometimes caisenate, same thing) which is the main protien in cow milk. Wanna know things about milk, go to notmilk.com
If you completly eliminate all forms of dairy from your diet in about seven days your body will get rid of all the extra mucus.
Have fun!
