Mouth tastes awful

Yes. Me. Reflux is right. I went for  a private Gastroscopy and I have a tiny sliding hernia but I think that’s a red herring. Lots of people getting RT to the mouth and throat end up with reflux. 
Mine flares up now and then. 

Thank you thats very helpful- do you have symptoms?

Mouth tasted sour till I did something about it. Watch my diet. Take aloe vera juice and melatonin at night which is oesophageal/ gastric  mucosa protective. 
With a bad flare I got really nasty heartburn. 
Get a pH of your saliva. If it’s acid all the time it might be silent reflux. 

Great thank you!

Hi Cathy66. I get silent reflux, which makes the back of my throat  sore, from time to time, I take gaviscon advance for it, which is very good. Like Dani said it is very common after RT. All the best.

Regards Ray.

Thank you!

The other thing to consider is burning mouth or tongue. That's quite a common side effect of RT too. That can give the impression of an acid taste in your mouth.

Thanks yes, I often burn my tongue.

Hi Cathy I have  silent acid reflux plus burning tongue. I’m similar to you finished august 2018. I have learned to identify my trigger foods which for me are cheese tomatoes anything  acidic or citrus. Cheap chocolate is a big no no fir burning tongue. My tongue goes scarlet. Plus a lot of fermented foods aren’t any good. I csn do soft cheese hard cheese my favourite I have to balance the pain against the pleasure. If that helps.

Thanks, do you take anything for it? I've just bought some aloe vera juice but I need to be careful with other things as I'm on levothyroxine.
