you may need to try the nexium for longer, at a higher dose, more often, or a different medicine for reflux. your doctor was on the right track, it's up to you now to go back and tell her it didn't work (be honest about how much you took it) and the two of you can decide what the next best move is.

looks like your on the beginnings of gingivitis..lasting bad breath is one of the symptoms.  When youre brushing..actually use a tongue scraper and start as far back as you can in your mouth.  Should help, along with like Listerine..for the bactereia

There are number of causes for a metallic taste in the mouth. The most common causes are as follows:\n1) Oral problems: when blood breaks down iron is released and causes a metallic taste in mouth. common causes of bleeding could be gingivitis or periodontal disease (gum disease), it could also be from sinuses or nose. If the cause is the post nasal drip tastes can get specially bad. Metallic restorations like amalgams (silver fillings) could be leaking and breaking down have your dentist check them and if you have older silver fillings have them replaced with bonding, porcelain veneers http://www.nwsmilespecialist.com\n\n2)medications: \nAmong the drugs that can cause a metallic taste in your mouth are antibiotics like Biaxin (clarithromycin) and Flagyl (metronidazole), used to treat a wide variety of infections; drugs used to treat an overactive thyroid; captopril, used to treat high blood pressure; griseofulvin, used to treat skin infections; lithium, used in bipolar disorder; penicillamine, used for rheumatoid arthritis, kidney stones, and too much copper in the body; plus some drugs used in cancer treatment\n.http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/QAA350574\n\n3) Impaired taste (Dysgeusia): common causes of impaired taste are:\ncommon cold, nasal infection, nasal polyps, sinusitis, salivary gland infections, influenza, viral pharyngitis, mouth dryness, aging, vitamin B-12 deficiency, gingivitis, bell's pasy, sjorgen's syndrome, strep throat\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus\n\n4) Excessive copper intake:\nExcessive copper intake can cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, dizziness, weakness, diarrhea, and a metallic taste in the mouth. Copper toxicity is rare but can cause heart problems, jaundice, coma, and even death. \nCopper overload may occur from using copper cookware and from water supplied by copper pipes on a regular basis. Copper can leach out of pipes into water, especially hot water, if it sits in copper pipes for an extended period of time. It is best to always cook with cold water. Flushing the system by running cold water for 2 to 3 minutes is an effective way to reduce copper. Also, it is best to avoid unlined copper cookware since copper can leach into acidic foods such as vinegar, tomato, or citrus. If you have blue-green stains around your faucet or sink, or if you detect a metallic taste to your water, you may want to have your water tested by a certified laboratory.\nhttp://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsSupplements/Coppercs.html\nBest of luck.

Pregnancy was my first thought.\ncould be a number of things though---\ngallstones\ni also read if you have a fillings in your teeth sometimes they can breakdown and do this.. they are made of mercury so that would leave the tin taste in your mouth which is not a good thing so if you have any filling get your dentist to check them out --its dangerous when they break down.\nchemo patients also have these same symptoms.\nsome medications such as sleeping pills do the same thing

I agree, your body's PH is probably very acidic...you can know for sure by purchasing some test strips from a local pharmacy. You could be prone to diseases because of acidity or lack of vitamins - possibly something like scurvy.  \n\nJust a few suggestions (hoping you don't mind):\n\n- take some vitamin & mineral supplements daily if you really hate fruits & vegtables. You especially need to take in more vitamin C since you aren't getting it from fruit & vegetables.\n\nTry to at least get some of these in....\n\n- Try smoothies with frozen fruit & juice. You can also add  milk or yogurt to make it creamy. Add some honey if you have to. Mix with a hand blender. You can also buy instant ones now.\n\n- There are some pretty yummy frozen vegetables with sauce out there that are fast.   \n\n- Keep fruit around as a snack or buy canned fruit salad. You can also try dried fruit.\n\n- Keep pre-packaged mini carrots and celery with dipping sauce handy. \n\n- If you really hate the taste of vegetables...then add many herbs or strong tasting sauce to disguise the taste.\n\nSorry to sound like a mom! Please see a doctor or nutritionist. Take care of yourself.

Brush your tongue and floss.  These are the biggest causes of bad breath.  Do not overdo the mouthwash!!!

It may be from the acid in the tomatoes. I used to get canker sores [mouth ulcers] from eating them. It was caused from my body overreacting to the added acid. I changed my diet to a less acidy intake, and can now eat them.

Bad mouth odor is caused chiefly by the lack of saliva production while we are asleep. Salivary proteins, residual food particles, and mouth flora and their byproducts are not flushed down our throats by the continuaous production of saliva that occurs during waking hours. Brush your teeth soon afte you wake up. also gently brush your tongue too. (muc of the odor can come form secretions on the tongue. (the pharmacy has tongue cleaners). Also brush after every meal. Drink a glass of water before going to bed. That should help. Regular dental checkups and teeth and gum cleaning also helps.\nSome people do all the above and still have bas breath. It is rare but is a real problem for them. They need help from medical specialists that know about the condition and treat that problem.\nIt is a 24 hour a day problem. You do not describe the symptoms of  it.\nDoc. Dan.

Very bitter. When you place it in your mouth you can taste it because the tongue is wet or moist, it is bitter.

I quit 2 weeks ago and still have the same problem.  It is most likely due to the lack of tar coating your tongue.  Not to worry it will go away :-)  Been here, done this before.\nCongrats on quitting btw, from here on, you are only going to get healthier!

taste buds die all the time...sometimes they are painful when they do and swell slightly.....there really isnt anything you can do for it except let it run its course....you can rinse your mouth with a peroxide and warm water mixture ( 1 cap of peroxide to 1/2 c. water). That may help......

Sounds like a really bad case of gingivitis to me.   You probably needs to rinse with a salt water solution several times a day.  Use a soft tooth brush.  See your dentist again.

Well certain illnesses and medications can cause this. Also being sick with a cold, sinus problem etc... can. \n\nBut with my husband he was pretty much born with no sense of taste or smell. It is not good. His identical twin brother has the same problem but not as extreme as my husband. He can eat, taste, and smell more. \n\nTheir mom did not know she was having twins, really, till she had them. She had another child before this. And they were a bit early too. But still a bit over 5 lbs. \n\nENT doctor and others told my husband there is nothing they can do. He has to put a lot of salt on his food and he only eats certain things. He is a meat and potatoes guy. He does not like a lot. But like he told me. He does not eat a lot, it would be like eating cardboard, how some things must seem to him!!! His weight is normal though.

A sinus infection is one possible cause.  (A very large part of the sense of taste relies on the sense of smell).  Zinc or B-12 deficiencies can also cause loss of sense of taste.  Many other possible causes are given in the link below.\n\nThe condition is known as dysgeusia.
