For me, eventually salty went away and changed to cardboard. Try the Ensure Plus rather than the Ensure. 360 calories a can or Dave's Caranation VHC. I liked the butterpecan and coffee Ensure Plus and still drink the vanilla. Also rinse with the baking soda. It does help the mucous problem.
Take care,
