littlebits 154 Posted June 22, 2012 Good morning everyone! I was wondering approximately how long this metal taste lasts. Everything tastes disgusting, including these nasty Vitamins. Thanks in advance! Little Bits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted June 22, 2012 That aounds like dysgeusia and there are soooo many things that can cause it, from pregnancy to diabetes to medications to poor hygiene... How long it will last is directly related to what's causing it. Time to put on your detective hat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littlebits 154 Posted June 22, 2012 Thanks, I have diabetes. So, I'm not sure if that has something to do with it or not. I'll look into it...thanks again! Little Bits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted June 22, 2012 Sometimes it could be because of a low carb diet and your body is in ketosis. It will go away. 1 littlebits reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

karenb4729 309 Posted June 22, 2012 I get it from low carb... that's why plain Water tastes so bad to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MinaT 669 Posted June 22, 2012 I have had it on and off in my life due to different medications, I have had it due to ketosis (which I'm dealing with now) and sinus infections. The Protein type metallic, milky taste seems to come back even right after I brush my teeth and usually in the middle of the night now I get up and have to brush my teeth again.

Pookeyism 1,143 Posted June 22, 2012 I got a few episodes of it about my late second and third month - but I associated it with the protien drink...hmmmm... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littlebits 154 Posted June 22, 2012 Thanks everyone! This is disgusting. On another note, I made my first Protein shake. It could be worse...lol. I hope that I figure this thing out soon. Little Bits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunshine08 4 Posted June 22, 2012 The Vitamins caused me to have the metallic taste in my mouth. I brush my teeth and tongue after eating them. If I don't, everything I eat or drink after the vitamins will taste like metal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you still get the metallic taste in your mouth or was it only in the beginning? Sn: I think that I am going to take all of my vitamins back & get liquids...

I'm currently looking for another Vitamin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
