Murray mints or boiled sweets helped on a temporary basis but just had to wait for it to go in the end, maybe 12/13 weeks for me. Really horrid, feels like you've woken up with hangover breath and no amount of tooth brushing seemed to help. I think you just have to wait for the hormones to settle.

I think I know what you mean!

I find the only way to keep it at bay is to drink water; and only water. If I've had more than 2 glasses of anything other than water it comes back and takes a day or 2 to get rid of it. I only drink sugar free drinks and I think it's the sweetener in them that causes it.

Hi lass

Yup, that taste with leave eventually but it's horrid - a mix for me between battery acid and old socks.

Keep your teeth clean and mints with defo help, some strong flavours like garlic, chillies and onions actually helped me but it doesn't work for everyone due to tastes and MS etc.

Normally I would be saying when 10 weeks (in my pregnancies) reflux would start but this time round I've had NONE (wooohooo!) but I'm off coffee 😭😭😭

TicTacs and try bullseyes (old sweets) as they work well.

I feel your pain. I’m 9 weeks and now panicking that I’ve got at least another week and a half of it!

All I could taste was rotting, putrid fruit for the first 12 weeks or so. It did go, but was replaced by a weird dust taste? Dust is the only way I can describe it. Anyway, much sympathy for you OP! XXX

Mine was metallic, like I was sucking on copper coins.. gross!

Mine is still here... I'm 30 weeks now. It's horrendous. I call it the taste of death. Constantly sipping drinks helps me... Easier said than done though as now I need a wee every 15 minutes!!
