I've experienced these things almost as long as I can remember; at the very least, I've had them for 10 years. I had a long history of severe acid reflux disease and used to think these things came from my stomach. I'm glad to hear that all of your experiences are like a mirror to my experience. They never hurt, but they smell horrendous. I usually have about 3 a week. I've been worried that they're some kind of strange infection; needless to say I'm very relieved to have found this thread. I think I'll pursue my doctor's opinion; I've tried to bring them up to him in the past, but I swear when I get to the office, I've either dislodged/swallowed them without knowing of they've come out with a cough. I think he thought I was making it up... it's like somehow they KNOW and don't want to get caught. They seem to have become more frequent over the last two years since I stopped taking Zantac but come to think of it, I've been relatively clear of nose and throat infections over that time. No idea if there's any correlation between their prevalence and my bettered health, but like a true man I'd rather sacrifice these little throat guardians for the sake of having better breath. Peace
