Anyone else with an awful taste in their mouth?

in March 2012 Moms

It just started a few days ago. After I eat or drink something, I get an awful taste in my mouth. The only thing that seems to help is gum (at least temporarily). Brushing my teeth doesn't help much. It's making everything taste bad. I've had significant nausea but haven't been vomiting, so it's not from that.

Am I just a freak?

    I thought that this was just ME! It is the worst taste and it is like everything I eat, has a different (but still nasty) taste. Gum does help, but after a while it gets that same taste when I am done with it. I have tried Lemon Drops, that seems to help out more than anything.

    YES!!!  I'm trying hard not to talk to anyone at work because I don't want them to be offended (though DH said it doesn't smell)!  I hate it!!!

    Yes, off and on.  Metallic taste some time.  I've heard this is normal and that sour candies help so sounds like you're set.  It's right up there with nipple bumps as weirdest pregnancy symptom.

    I get a metallic taste plus a lot of excess saliva.  When I'm stuck at work my only way to deal with the taste is Listerine strips.

    Yes!  Me too.  When I get up ( a million times) in hte night to pee I gargle mouthwash b/c I can't stand it.  And during the day I always have some sort of candy or mint. The taste makes me even more sick.

    OMG! I am so happy I'm not the only one! It's so random. But it's gross - what is causing it? I hope it goes away because it's making me sicker!

    It's not the same awfulness every time, but I feel like when I eat most foods I just cannot get the lingering taste of them out of my mouth for hours and hours no matter how many mints I eat. I don't love it and I wish it would stop.

    I was having this too, but it seems to have gotten slightly better. It was really bad a few weeks ago, and I still have it every once in awhile. It has definitely lessened though, as it does not happen after everything I eat anymore.

    Yes! I first noticed this about two weeks ago. I thought it might have to do with nausea, but then I looked it up and according to Dr. Google, it is called dysgeusia and is a relatively rare but not imaginary symptom of pregnancy. Eating sour, citrusy, or vinegar based things can help temporarily get rid of the nasty taste. It is yucky!

    Me too, and when I do brush my teeth my normal toothpaste taste like black licorice which I hate.

    Joys of pregnancy!

    OMG me too!! I was going to post about this a couple days ago, but I thought it was only me!! I'm so glad it's not. It makes my m/s so much worse because it's such a nasty taste. Not metallic but just gross. Hope it gets better soon!

    I was just wondering today how long this particular symptom lasts. I have problems with the saliva too and the only thing that works for me is ginger gum. It doesn't taste very and its kinda pricey, but it definitely helps the pools of saliva that gather in my mouth and the yucky taste,.

    I was totally going to post this tonight, it is driving me CRAZY!  So glad to see I'm not the only one.  It isn't a metaliac taste to me, it is just a sour, bad-breath taste.  I chew gum and eat mints and  brush my teeth and feel like it is always there!  Hope it goes away soon!

    EVERYTHING and anything I eat puts a terrible taste in my mouth, this has been since about 6 weeks. I am devouring mints after every single thing I eat or drink. It sucks.

    Yuck! I hate this too. I think I might need to make a stop at the Bulk Barn and stock up on sour candies and hard candies.
