I do sometimes but it's when my tummy is off.

Have you done the usual stuff...dental check...drinking plenty of water.   Is your tummy ok ? GP check.....sinuses ok.

Some medications can cause alteration of taste, i.e. zinc or iron taste.  As can food stuck between teeth ……. a low grade sinus infection?

[gina123]

i am on lanzoprazole for a hiatus hernia but have not had bad heartburn since..but always seem to be congested..also have sinus problems and a deviated septum..but sore tonhue is the worst..its mostly at the tip..

[gina123]

its a pain

[gina123]

do you get a horrid taste

[gina123]

dentist wants me to see oral specialist..but i think its meno as i had it 2 years ago as well..what dosage lanzoprazole are you on?

[gina123]

i am on 30 mg too..was on 60 to begin with ..had an endoscopy last june had esophigitis very slight and hiatus hernia...but dont get the pain and heartburn anymore

[gina123]

yes..its not a very nice drug but if it keeps the heartburn away its worth it...i was so anxious about endoscopy but took the pill they give you and dont remember anything

[gina123]

had it on  and off since december .. had a worrying time as i found abreast lump and had to go for a mammogram and i think with all the  stress it started that and my burning sore tongue..lump had disappeared so all was fine thank goodness..but i think between hormones and stress it just wiped me out

[gina123]

hi sparkle

See the oral specialist.  Always better to get all possibilities covered. 

If the medication doesn't 'suit' then ask your GP for something else, there are a lot of medications out there - ladies of a 'certain' age are well known for developing hiatus hernia …….. drop in oestrogen = laxity of muscles 

So far I find that Rennies and other like-minded products help when I get heartburn and reflxu, usually because I take my medications too close to bed time!

Hi gina123

I don't think anyone has mentioned "pine mouth".

Do you eat pine nuts reguarly or have you gone through phases of eating them?

I had a period of time with a horrible taste, and yes it was bitter - and convinced I had something wrong with mouth or teeth, but when I googled it I found that some people get this after eating pine nuts - the ones that come from China apparently are a mix of types and some have this effect in some people.

I stopped the nuts (took 'em back to H&B!) and it disappeared after about a week or so.

I may be way off here but just in case....thought I'd mention it.
