Yes! Within two weeks of starting IP it felt like I had phlegm stuck in my throat. That lasted 2-3 days and then it went away but the tip of my tongue hurt! I thought it was an illness and waited for it to go away. I thought it may have even been a canker sore. It deadened my taste buds and when I went to the dentist for my standard check up, my x-rays said I had bacteria in my mouth on my cheek. They told me if it bothered me to eat sour things. I kept waiting for the pain on my tongue to go away and eventually started eating some lemons. This whole thing started a month ago and my tongue feels fine now but I still don’t feel like my taste buds are back to where they used to be only because I take all of my real salt in the morning and just down it and it doesn’t seem to bother me as much as it did in the first two weeks before everything started.
