Ok, ok. My GP once said that these "salty" tasting little white lumps were bits of food that had been trapped in throat tissue and then coated and released.
BUT I now wonder.
I recently learned that I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
I had a period of about three years (15-18) when these lumps were more prevalent than at other times. Once, a lump about the size of a dime, which had a distinct wave pattern to it, came out of my throat.
The lumps hide behind my tonsils and are very annoying until they are released. I should also mention that as a child, I was in the hospital so often for Strept and Ear infections that they knew me on a first-name basis.
Is there a chance that this is a connection of which the medical community is largely unaware? Have others experienced this?
Thanks...
