Bad taste in mouth, acid reflux
About 4 weeks ago I started to get a bad taste at the back of my mouth. This started out of the blue. An internet search made me think acid reflux, as I also get stingy throats. After an online appointment I was prescribed Omeprazole 20mg, and advised to take Gaviscon as well. I have been on this for 3 weeks with very little improvement. I have read other threads about acid reflux, but nothing about the bad taste, which happens several times a day. It is a frequent reminder that something is wrong. Has anyone else had any experience of this please? I am very concerned about this.
Re: Bad taste in mouth, acid reflux
Do you take gaviscon after you’ve eaten? And do you get the bad taste after you’ve eaten too? There must be a reason they are prescribing acid reflux medicine for it? Sometimes it may be what you’ve eaten, so might be worth keeping a food and symptom diary.
I do get reflux and sometimes get a sore throat in the morning, but I don’t really get the bad taste. Although I remember going through something like that for a few weeks where it just tasted horrible for weeks. I think that was about the same time I had my first bout of acid reflux. At the time I think I thought it was oral thrush, which is also something I get sometimes.
