I get this cough.
Its ONLY in the morning
Its dry
white mucus comes up is white and clear
the worst thing is the FOUL BURNING SENSATION/TASTE it causes in my throat

It lasts a few minutes, a cup of tea, or water usualy helps it.
but this sickly burning after taste is HORRID

I take omeprazole 40mg (ok.. i should be, dont take it often)
I am going to start taking this more now.

I already have gastritis

i cant eat spicey food, i drink alcohol at my peril, lol

What would cause this?
I have been STRESSSED BIIIG TIME off late, due to a personal (non medical issue)
could that be it?
horrid, disgusting, foul taste after i cough. mornings only.

Anyone?

Still getting this the odd morning.
Dont drink alcohol, stay as much as I can away from dairy products, 100% no spicey food.

Its just a morning thing, awake coughing up this "burning sick" stuff.
Been to 2 Dr's, 1 told me no spice in food, the other said no dairy stuff and no hot drinks.

What is the cause of this.
100% ok during the day, just the odd morning when waking up.
Sometimes it wakes me up. once I cough it up, im fine, its clear when I cough it up.

Please im pullinh my hair out here. :(
 
The burning/nasty taste in mouth is a good sign there is reflux going on.

For some people, dairy worsens it, for others it doesn't. Fried fooRAB, mint, chocolate and coffee are also common triggers.

Being as this seems to be mainly a morning problem, have you tried tilting your mattress up so you sleep with your head elevated? If you choose omeprazole to help, I suggest taking it in the evenings, either before supper or before bed, not sure which would be better. Also, try not to eat large meals at night, and don't eat anything within about 2 hours of bedtime.
 
I second everything Jane said. She has given you some good advice.

If you tilt your bed up, you should raise your headboard 4-6 inches. The cheap way to do this is with a couple bricks. I paid a bit more and got bed risers at the local bed and bath store.
 
thank you both, I will take what was said and use it.

Today I decided, new years resolution, and UTTER FEAR of this happening again, as its a very frightening experience. It can happen once a month, or 3 times a week, been going on for maybe 5/6 months now.

I got diagnosed with gastritis 3 years ago.
Spicefood was a complete no-no and I HAD to stop drinking alcohol.

This has just worsened, My Dr told me with having this gastritis thyis can and does happen to anyone, any age.

So from now on, I will eat more fruit and veg, more chicken also.
Change my whole diet. I am a few stone (Not obese) overweight, so this will help also.

I suffer from Chronic Pain Syndrome and take Diazapam, Dhydracodine and Diclafanec (Spelling) all for pain. I also take Movicol to help me go to the toilet, due to the codine I take, and I am as regular as anyone. There are no problems there. I also take 1 Lansoprasole, I take in the morning, I will now start taking this nearing bedtime.

I will keep you updated on how the "new diet" is coming on, and hopefully keep this nasty thing at bay.

Between this and the Chrnic Pain Syndrome its a pain in the backside!!
I am starting pain managment classes soon, so hopefully that will take away my dependancy on Drugs. And if I eat better, maybe in a few months from now I will be healthier and better for it. That is the plan :jester:

Thanks again!!!! :angel:
 
If you are serious about changing your diet, you might want to do some internet research on anti-inflammatory diets. It isn't really a diet, but it talks about what fooRAB make the inflammation in the body worse and what fooRAB promote healing in the body.
