Thrush And Nasty Taste

[klperry 6]

I'm 3 weeks out and finally getting over thrush and now I have this horrible taste in my mouth. In the mornings it's like a slime so I have to jump out of bed because I start gagging. Nothing tastes right. Any ideas what I can do to help? This is awful

I got the same thrush at around 2-3 weeks. It was a thick white coating on my tongue. I gargled with mouth wash and took a tooth brush to it every day for a few days and then it was gone. I also believe that it may have been caused by drinking milk since thrush is basically a yeast infection of the mouth. To test this, I switched to soy and it cleared up in a day or two. I also stopped eating yogurts and switched to taking Probiotics daily, i found a good one called Green Vibrance that has 25 billion probiotics from 25 different varieties per serving. It is kind of expensive, but helps with BM and general health when our food does not contain much vegetables. Hope this helps.

Welcome to the land of Ketosis (further reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis ). Your body is now burning its fat reserves in earnest and producing keytones as a byproduct. It will lessen after a while and completely disappear too, how long is determined by your own body, diet and weight loss and varies a lot from person to person, it may be weeks or months.

Get a tongue scraper and pleasant tasting mouthwash, I like the orange flavored stuff myself. Use both a few times a day and it lessens it to a tolerable level.

Ketosis does seem to be the culprit, but generally it is urged to go see an eye, ear and nose doc if you are having issues after surgery. Yeast and fungal infections of the throat and esophagus can be serious issues.
