Metallic Taste

[first_timer]

Hi all,

I have just been wondering if anyone else has experienced the metallic taste in their mouths?? I have been recently (i think thats what it is) the only way to describe it is it makes me feel lethargic, and would like to know how long its lasted for and if there are any magical remedies for it??

The only thing i find that works is eating but once i finish it comes back!!! arggh!!!!

Would love to know your thoughts...

I can tell I'm pregnant just by that taste in my mouth!!! Tic tacs became my best friend!! Not sure theres much you can do honey, just cover the taste.. sorry... It wont last too long, it'll settle down soon...

you could grab a bag of hard lollies .. and suck away all day .. i just kept the water up and the flaoured drinks away ..

congrats on your pg and the taste will go away soon enough ... and the tiredness doesnt leave you ..... ever .. your a mum now

First timer,

Is your tongue a little white? if so you can try & take a yakult. I seem to get that taste I think from all the stomach acids & a few days on the light yakult takes that all away... Of course it might be a completely different reason

funny you mention this. I didn't have it last time, but man this time.....it's got something to do with your body telling you it needs a certain mineral I think....please don't ask which one though....
