Bad Taste

LindseyNeff

I am six weeks pregnant and after everything I eat, I have a horrible taste in my mouth. Does anyone else have this? And is there anyway to get rid of the taste?

1. "A common pregnancy symptom in the first trimester, dysgeusia is the medical term for a change in your sense of taste; most often, you'll get a sour or metallic taste during pregnancy (yuck!) that persists even when you're not eating."

I get this and its a pain.  ALSO if you have started/changed any  medication/supplements/prenatals this can also be a side effect.

Yes! I was eating some salsa last night, and it tasted so bad, I had DH taste it to see if I was crazy... He reported that it tasted completely normal to him.

Seems to happen randomly for me. Ugh!

@dannyjo2012 The same thing happened to me this morning!  I was eating veggies with my breakfast and normally I don't mind broccoli, but it tasted so freaking bitter I spat it out and almost threw up.  I had a coworker taste a piece and he said it tasted totally normal to him.  The carrots tasted super sweet to me and the cauliflower tasted normal.  And the humus (which I normally love!) was definitely a no go!

So I researched this a little and found that lemons might help. So I tried it and for me, they did. I just drink ice cold lemon water throughout the day and it helps with the taste. It also helps with my nausea a little.

When I'm pregnant a lot of times corn bread will taste like fish.  And yes, I have a horrible taste in my mouth if I eat starchy stuff like bread.
