Hey Uptown - it's definitely not thrush, since I just came back from the DDS. For the life of me I can't even explain the taste...the closest I can come up with is...sour fruit, (and just plain gross) and even that doesn't make sense. But the manuka honey is a great idea, I still have plenty left and will give it a try. I just can't imagine that I'm the only one that has this problem after rads, and hoping someone had it and resolved it! smile
