Good morning everyone, Bit of a strange one - for the last couple of weeks lots of food has tasted really salty although my partner says it tastes fine and I never add salt when cooking. Even my no added salt or sugar muesli tastes really salty. Then for last 24 hrs I’ve had a real rich sugar taste in my mouth all the time. Cant decide if I need to see doctor or dentist or just to leave it and hope it goes away. I hate visiting doctor/dentist. Just did a google search about it (bad thing for me to do) and now worried there may be something horrible wrong. Can anyone please give me some advice? X
Hi Anon I cant advise you on this one but I’d go get some advise from your gp, Dr google dosen’t always have the answers he normally just frightens us to death if I’d took everything he said as fact I’d have been dead twice by now :-/ Go get advice is my suggestion Sue x
Agree with Sue Go to GP and get it checked, probably nothing. As for DR. Goggle he should be struck off Take care Gray x
Hi again Anon Just had another thought what meds are you taking? They sometimes have some very weired effects

Thank you both for your replys. You did put my very over-active mind at rest by reminding me how rubbish Dr Google is. I know I shouldn’t really look online but it’s so difficult to get an appointment at the local doctors surgery. I spoke to a really helpful nurse at nhs 111 . She put my mind at rest too. Says its maybe caused by my meds but to take a urine sample into my local surgery and get it checked for infections to be on the safe side. So I phoned my local surgery,they says that fine, bring it in and someone will check it while u wait. So I’ve just been there and no surprise - there is nobody available to check it. Sometimes I feel like I’m banging my head against a very hard wall ! Maybe I will try again with another sample tomorrow. Thank you again. This forum has been my sanity over the last few difficult months. X
I’ve had this twice during relapses and assumed it’s an ms thing! Second time it was only cold food that tasted odd. And only on one side of my mouth. It went away after a couple of weeks
