Curious if to assist in mucous problems if Mucinex would be a good  thing to 
use in patients with an excess of Mucous problems?

With the knowledge that GERD is  often associated with increased mucous 

production, where does the  mucous actually come from...the nasal 

sinuses, the stomach???
***  The esophagus. Lined with mucous secreting tissue, it is doing its job 
in  reacting to acid and protecting the epithelium of the esophagus ? hence 
mucus  production that must be cleared.
