A member asked:
Have gerd. was on aciphex (rabeprazole) for years but stopped like 6 months ago. now my spit is like a yellow mucus. is this post nasal drip caused by gerd?

Possibly: Ph probe studies have shown that acid reflux from the stomach can reach the nasopharynx (area behind nose). You may go back on Aciphex (rabeprazole) to see if this resolves the yellow mucus. What you describe is a nonspecific sign of inflammation.
