There are also certain fruits that cause bloating as well.
You may need to consider altering your diet to reduce these gas producing foods to see if this helps.
The chest cold could definitely be contributing to the mucus as well.
A stool sample to the lab may be considered to rule out persisting infection of the GI, to rule out infection as a cause of the symptoms.
