I used Glutasolve back in 2003. It regenerates epithelial cells from the mouth to the rear as the mucous membranes slough off dead cells. It has a somewhat neutral taste and has to be taken orally to help the mouth, throat and esophagus. It made me nauseas or I was already. It got harder and harder to drink as radiation progressed.
The mucous probably is causing the vomiting if you are on anti-emetics. Nebulizing with N-Acetylcysteine aka Mucomist would also help break the thick stuff up and help get it out as well.
