Metallic taste in mouth - not pregnant - causes?

[smurfgirl]

I have a strong metallic taste in my mouth, what can cause that? Have had it for 24 hours now so pretty sure its not blood from a cut.

Def not preg.

I dont know but will be watching this thread for any clues.
I have this occasionally also.
Good luck

have you been eating pine nuts?

I read something earlier today about pine nuts causing an odd mettalic taste in the mouth. Will check internet history.....

that would be metallic

and it's was a DM page!

Bell's Palsy.

are you on iron tablets

any sleeping tablets? They always do that to me.

with me it's linked to migraine...

Can be a sign that you're in ketosis

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketosis here ]]

Which is often associated with low carbohydrate diets.

hormones can do this - in the same way it happens when you're pregnant, sometimes hormonal changes during the month can cause it. I used to get it a lot mid-cycle.

It could possibly be an amalgam filling leaking (if you have any).

here try this instead!

No to pine nuts, fillings, iron tablets or sleeping tablets. Am carb queen.

Have been on pill for a week so its probably hormonal.

bleeding gums? sore gums?

Do you have a mouth full of mercury fillings?

Teeth are filling free and I went to the dentist recently and was fine.

I have this too, doc checked all my bloods which are fine, dentist checked mounth all fine. I then had lunch with an old friend who said she had the same thing plus sore roof of mouth and had eventually been referred to an ENT specialist who called it ......wait for it....sore mouth syndrome.....
Mine has gone off a bit, but I had it for weeks and weeks.

This is interesting. I've had a metallic/bitter taste in my mouth for 6 weeks plus sore parts on my gums and roof of mouth. Been to Dr's and Dentist and neither can see anything wrong so have been referred to an oral specialist just waiting for appointment, sounds like I might have 'sore mouth syndrome' or the official word ' we don't have a bloody clue '

Had a metallic taste in my mouth for 24 hours after consuming sundried tomato pesto....had any of that?
