Metal Mouth

[OneFootintheRave]

Gah! I hate this. I've experienced this off and on over the years and it's just horrible. This pervading, nasty taste sensation that ruins all my food and drink.

I've researched this and im not worried it's anything serious but what can you do to get rid of it? It's ruining the lovely Christmas food!

Im not pregnant and I have had it pre and post menopause.

Im not low carbing atm, I have in the past and this does make it worse. What the hell is it but more, what do you do to get rid of it??

Once I tried holding natural yoghurt in my mouth for 14 mins. It didn't work.

Could it be sinus related? I can always tell when dh is starting to get a cold because his breath gets a weird metallic smell.

Well I have certainly had sinus issues all my life and often take anti-histamines but there seems to be no correlation between when I am taking them and when I experience the dreaded "metal mouth".

I had a really nasty stomach bug about 10 years ago and I have had this since. I asked the doctor who says it’s an imbalance in the bacteria. I’ve tried lots of different things but it’s not as bad as it was but it still there.

Covid? Seriously some viruses leave it.
Medication? Antidepresants do this to me.
Pregnancy also did it for me but you've ruled out hormones.

Bizarre!

I had this when my acid reflux was bad (but I didn't have any other symptoms apart from this!!) could it be that?
