Constant Aftertaste

[lizzyshade 56]

Is anyone else experiencing a constant sour like aftertaste in your mouth no matter what you put in it?

Sounds like acid reflux

No, I had that a lot before surgery & thankfully not since. This is a sour taste, like you get after sugar-free drinks. It is almost always there, no matter the flavor I am consuming. I just wondered if this was common & does it go away?

I would agree that sounds like acid reflux. I would suggest making an appt with your doc and getting him to prescribe you an acid blocker. It will help alot with the taste and block hunger that is sometimes associated with it. I hope that helps. [= good luck

It may be the aspertame flavoring that goes along with those drinks. I would suggest a different flavoring. Like with my Water i now use mio instead of crystal light b/c i dont like the after taste. Just look for drinks/flavoring that dont list that as an ingredient.

It may well be a by product of ketosis, this is a good thing. It means your body is using stored fat for energy and the by product ( acetone) is expelled in urine and on your breath. This leaves a funny taste in your mouth ( and also odd urine). It means your blood sugars are being held by your body in reserve for emergencies and your day to day energy is fueled from stored fat and avoids depletion of your Protein stores. So welcome ketosis!

I've heard that is normal for a little while. I did not get that, but I've heard of many who have. it should go away with time.
