Bariatric Tongue??

Is it thrush? I think KIm's explanation makes the most sense. I remember my tongue felt gross when I was in Ketosis.

I remember my tongue felt really gross after the barium swallow I had to do also. Barium is disgusting!!

Yes, it is definitely not yummy.
I frequently have to assess people's swallowing function with fluoroscopy and, unfortunately, I have to use barium in various viscosities (thin, nectar, honey, and pudding); I try to convince my patients they don't taste too bad, but they certainly aren't great.

Me, too.
They have some really cute and creative memes with Chemistry Cat. My father-in-law was a chemist, so my husband really enjoys them. Yeah, we're nerds!!!
