Bitter taste is driving me mad

[mariasgotabrandnewbag]

Anyone else have That’s awful bitter metallic taste in their mouth when you’re going through the menopause? it’s absolutely driving me mad, it’s been on and off for the last few months since I’ve been in the thick of the menopause but recently I’ve had it for two weeks with no let up and it’s horrible horrible horrible. The only thing that really gets rid of it is eating and drinking but then it’s soon comes back. Anyone else?

Anyone else?

Not had a bitter taste in my
mouth sounds awful ! But have had itching intense under right armpit never had anything like it oh the joys of menopause 🙈

Yeah I get it, horrible, made me hate my favourite foods.

Yes, it went eventually….after about 18 months though.

@HelloCharmingoh god that long?! Did you have it everyday?

@mariasgotabrandnewbag not every day. I went to the GP and to the dentist to check it wasn't anything else. I also cut down on tea as that made it worse and found that eating fresh fuirt and veg made it not as noticeable.

I have had this on and off my whole life so suspect it's hormonal. When I did a low carb diet it was horrendous so I have stopped that. I'm on HRT now and I can't recall having for a while. It does recur occasionally though, HRT or not!
