Is it a sharp pain? Is it roughly a few hours after eating? Could be some kind of digestion problem. Being that they were treating you for a peptic ulcer makes me believe that they were looking at digestion too. \n\nA simple measure you could try, and I have done myself with some success, is change a small portion of your diet to see if you can isolate a problem there.\n\nFor instance, for about a week try cutting out gaseous food items like broccoli, milk, onions, cauliflower, eggs and large amounts of any dairy products like yogurt and cheese. See if things improve. \n\nIf they don't, put those items back into your diet and for a week try removing heavy items like beef, large amounts of bread, pasta, nuts, and stick to lighter meats like chicken and fish along with light salads.\n\nLastly, I would try cutting out any spicy food altogether during these different diet tests. Spicy foods are not necessary for good health and that would be one less variable you would have to worry about.\n\nTry to mix and match some of the items you eat and leave out others. Usually a week is enough time to determine if their is an improvement. \n\nI quickly found out that even though I didn't know what was causing my pain, I had an idea that it was indigestion related and cutting out the milk/onions did wonders for my abdominal pain.\n\nSide note, I am not a medical doctor and my advice should not be taken strictly as a cure. Also, do not stray too far from what I have outlined here and make sure all changes are ok with your physician.\n\nGood luck!

Look for Propolis tablets or- better- diluted in alcohol.\nYou can probebly find it in a Health shop. It tastes awful- but works better than antibiotics\nAlso- heaps of FRESH orange juice, garlic and drinks. Good luck

Try Flax Seed Oil. Its full of Omega 3 fatty acids and it tastes like grape juice. you can buy it in pill form, liquid form or oil form where you can add it to salads and what not.

Hi.  im suffering from a ulcerative colitis at the moment.  I have been taking 40 mg. of prednizone, 9 colazal pills and 75 mg of mercaptopurine (6mp) and one rowasa enema at nights.  I have blood in my stool, my stool is very lose and cramping each and everytime.  I was doing really good for the last four years, until i had one alcholic beverage, which they tell you not to have, and the flairups started five weeks ago.  My dr. told me to stay away from fruits, vegtables, red meat, fried food,  dairy food, caffine, soda and juice.  he said to only eat white stuff like chicken, pasta, rice, white bread until i see some improvement.  so far im doing a little bit better then i was five weeks ago, but hopefully i'll see some changes soon. if you see no changes in your condition please talk to your gastro. dr. and see what other meds. he can give you.  you had not mentioned your meds. so dont be affraid, im 41 years old and i have been living with this conditon since i was 17.  Just make sure you get your yearly colonoscopy done in time to make sure things are ok and dont stress out cause stress can really affect the colitis, i know its hard, but until they find a cure for us this is the best we can do,  best wishes to you and i wish you a speady recovery.

I have tried drink a tablespoon of olive oil everyday before bed time for a couple of weeks and it worked pretty well. I have had no recurrence's since. You can also try this site here:

try putting a piece of ductape over your mouth. But if you have to eat. Go with the basics. No Meat. Its hard to digest. Go with some raw vegetables. A salad. Something like that. If you go that route you wont be filling yourself with bad calories and fat. I like to eat a piece of fruit at night. Its sweet and fills a void.

1) The FIRST thing that comes to mind is the medicine or vitamins that you are taking.. when did the metallic taste start? Did you start taking any particular medicine at that time.. did you start taking Any particular vitamin at that time?\n\n2)A possible solution might be to eat some yogurt or buttermilk containing live cultures.  This will help restore a normal bacterial colony to the GI tract and get rid of the symptoms... I have heard of this being done before.\n\n3) Another thing that comes to mind but doubt if it is done nowadays.. long ago(not too long ago) dentists would do fillings with mercury and this would leave a metallic taste in the mouth....\n\nAll in All... take a look at the medicinal angle.. Did you recently start taking something new???  I wish there was a way to find out what you did to figure out what was wrong but with these Yahoo answers.. theres does not seem to be any way to follow up

Red meats, processed meats such as hotdog etc. and try taking flaxseed oil tablets. You can get them anywhere in the vitamin section. It high in omega acids but does'nt leave the bad smell like fish oil. Also eat salmon or other fish, i've heard three times a week.

go to your pharmacist counter and ask for an education sheet on Lipitor. After reading it go back to him with any questions. They often know more about meds than doctors. Best wishes and good health.\nConsider the possibility of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Webmd.

A friend of mine was on Topamax and she experienced tingling in her hands and feet.  She also had a change in her taste.  Anything with artificial sweetners tasted very metallic to her and she couldn't stand the taste of anything alcoholic.  She also suffered from weight gain (about 25 lbs).  All of the symptoms went away when she stopped taking the med.

it depends on the guy; diet can affect the taste. Things like wheatgerm and pineapple juice make it sweeter, things like processed meat (salami, pepperoni) garlic and onion can make it more sour.
