Thrush and mouthwash

Lisa and everyone else who has experienced that awful white stringy stuff, I think I've found the cause! And Lisa, you were right: It's related to the thrush. But I don't think the thrush caused it, because I never had the white stringy gunk until I'd been using the mouthwash for a few days. I think the mouthwash (Diphenlido-Maalxny sus) that I used to cure the thrush caused it. I did quit the Qvar, which was causing the thrush, which eliminated the need for the mouthwash. It's been more than a week now, and I haven't had any white gunk at all practically since Day One of the experiment.
