I think you will find the mucous problem may get better once the thrush is cleared up. It took a month of Dexamethsone (sp ???) to clear up mine. The Diflucan and nystatin didn't do it.
I don't know whether I said it on this thread, so excuse me if I repeat myself. I was told by a dentist to 'not eat anything white' as it turns into sugar and thrush (yeast) feeds on sugar. Since he is on Ensure this is probably not alterable. Has he tried Ensure Plus. More calories to the can and I thought much better tasting.
