I too have had the taste problem for over 5 years. It started with a dry mouth and obstruction in throat, then about 6 months later the taste developed. ENT doctor did larynoscopy, upper GI and I took meds for acid reflux but no help. Gastroenterologist did endoscopy & PH monitoring and prescribed Elavil for nausea. The nausea ceased but still had bloating & lots of gas. I get some relief laying down but in morning taste is back and lasts all day. I chew gum all day long and use sugarless candy or mints but only masks the problem. I sometimes wonder if it is menopause related, like burning mouth syndrome? I am going to gynecologist next week & will ask her.
