Metalic Taste

Hi All,
I have been noticing a very nasty metallic taste.  Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening and how to get rid of it?

 Hey Deanne,

I have been having the same issue.  And worse yet I have not been able to find anything to take it away.  I thought perhaps it was the increase in vitamins I have been taking but I am not sure.  

I will be interested as well if you find out anything more about it.

Hey Deanne!
I have that metallic taste once in a while and it usually means that killer breath is attached!  I HATE it!!!!  I used to have it non stop for the 1st year post- op ERny.

2 reasons that i"ve narrowed down for me:  1.  ambien  (sleep meds)  ....went away after I ditched it.  2.  too much fat from meat in my diet  (try chicken and fish for a few days and see if it leaves)

I've also wondered if it accompanies the bacterial overgrowth.  It seems to leave when I do a course of flagyl.

I haven't had it as bad since I started taking Mega chloraphyl capsules, CharcoCaps capsules and Ginger Root with peppermint & mastic gum capsules.  (high maintenance, huh?!!!) 

Good luck!

 Hey Joyce,

Sleep meds huh?  Interesting.  I started taking prescription sleeping pills about 3 weeks or so ago now I wonder if that has anything to do with it.  So is may come down to a choice between metallic taste or not enough sleep.......hmmmmf...

I suffer from a seriously disturbing mettalic taste in my mouth whenever I take calcium in particular any time i ever ever take TUMS yuck. It is terrible.

describe your supplementation regimen?

how does water taste?

any nausea? if so, when, for how long?

 Hey Michelle,

Why would the taste of water or nausea make a difference with the metalic taste?

Metallic taste can mean marginal ulcer. Not over all, jus****er tasting like it ran thru rusty pipes or something.

Hi Michele,
Thanks for responding.  The EDG did not show an ulcer, but did show a hiatal hernia that either came back or was never fixed.  He also opened up the anastomosis at the esphogus.  Did a cat scan today.

Hi Michele,
Got a question for you.  If all the other vitamins are within the normal range why would the Vit. A be the only one below the range?  Is it related to Protein and Vit. A needing each other?  Do you have any insights?  What time of day is the best to take the Vit. A.  I take thyroid so I have to wait until 4 hours after I take that to start any of the vitamins.

Thanks,
Deanne
