Q: Bad Taste

asked by: marie56 on July 28th, 2004

New User

I had gastric bypass 1 year ago. All has gone well and I lost 100 lbs. I have a bad taste in the back of my throat. I am currently taking prevacid which worked well for about 1 month. Now the taste is back. Any idea what might be causing it? It's not teeth as I had my teeth checked and cleaned recently. No other side effects, just the bad taste. I am either chewing gum or eating something constantly to cover the taste. Any suggestions or ideas?

Go to a health food store & ask them but my daughter found charcoal tablets helped.
