As a 4 year producer of the thick crap I would be interested in anything that would work so keep us all posted. Like you I need to know the whys of everything and I haven't found anyone yet that has been able to explain this much less cured it. I have tried various cold remedies but all they seem to do is dry me up while not decreasing the production. I produce it all day long (not much at night) and it seems that every 30 mins or so I have accumulated the size of a small pea and spit it out. I drink water constantly all day long and that doesn't help this problem. I do seem to produce more at meal time but I usually drink milk, always have, with each meal so I don't know if that helps my production as some have said.

Clueless in Gulfport!
