When combined with these other symptoms, coughing up yellow mucus can be a sign of pneumonia, which can be very serious. Primehealthchannel.com points out that there can be multiple non-bacterial and non-viral sources of coughing up mucus that should not cause worry.

âA trial of a low FODMAP diet can be conducted. This is usually recommended for 4-6 weeks, following which, a rechallenge of any potentially well-absorbed carbohydrates can be undertaken, that is, fructose, lactose, sorbitol and mannitol.
A wonderful FODMAP focussed store providing many yummy FODMAP friendly foods such as low FODMAP diet protein bars and FODMAP friendly spice blends is Nicer Foods. I highly recommend giving their range a try as it makes the diet that much easier and tastier.
