Mucus is produced de novo, by that I mean from mucus producing cells right in the bloodstream. Mucus has nothing to do with drinking milk fat or eating dairy products. Dairy should be avoided at times with stomach bugs because it can cause more irritation in the bowels. It does not increase mucus or make you stuffier.
