Gross taste in my mouth

I'm one week out and I have a horrid taste in my mouth. I think it's the protein shakes that I'm drinking but who knows. It's worst in the morning when I wake up. Also my tongue is white, I wonder if I'm not getting enough fluids in. Anyone have this happen to them? Please tell me that it will go away!

Oh my gosh...yes! It was the worst in the morning for me too. I believe it was the protein  (isopure) I was taking. But once I started on my mushy stage (eggs, oatmeal,etc..) it went away. I'm guessing since nothing was in my stomach. 

Yes it does go away.  My husband was so funny . . . after I started solid food he told me how my breath was horrid until then and he was worried that I would stay that way

My husband hasn't mentioned anything but I'm sure he can smell me breath, specially in the morning. I think it's time to try the puréed diet in hopes that it helps

At my support group, our group leader said this dry mouth and bad breath and metallic taste are related to our bodies being in ketosis...high protein and little carbs lead to  ketosis.

The bad breath and weird taste in your mouth are due to ketosis. In other words,your body is starting to break down fat. So it's all good and will go away.

The burning of fat leads to ketosis;  this is the source of the bad taste and breath.  Byproducts of burning fat are ash and CO2, and of course it'll taste horrible.  The best you can do for yourself is minty breath strips or some other help.  Your body expels byproducts not only via your breath, but by scrubbing through your liver and kidneys and then to your urine.  

Don't worry, it'll go away, but it is pretty nasty!

I am almost 2 weeks out, and yes I have it too. Does not seem to matter what we eat or drink. I usually hit the mouthwash as soon as  get up in the morning. I have noticed the different smell in my urine also!

Yes, it can be Ketosis but since you are so early out, it could be thrush. If you have a white coating on your tongue or if it starts to itch or tickle. Your doctor can give you a swish and swallow rinse..

I understand how you feel the taste is very horrid i found out i had thrush and had to get a mouth rinse everything tasted very salty to me and it was very hard to drink anything bu****er if that is what your going thru get the mouth rinse it is great and with in a few days it starts working  good luck
