Metal Taste In Mouth

Recommended Posts

I am gluten free, I have had chronic yeast infection for two yrs now and I take herbal antifungals to assist with this, it gets better then I cheat and it gets worse. Lately, I have noticed a strong metal taste in my mouth. I am thinking that I have issues with heavy metal toxicity, and I am wondering if this metal taste is occurring when I have yeast issues or when they are dying off and i am getting rid of them. I read somewhere that the metals bind with the yeast, so I am wondering if they die, do they release the metals? this may sound, crazy, but I am just wondering? Any ideas on getting rid of metals would also be appreciated.

When I was detoxing from heavy metals using Lugol's iodine in max. doses, I noticed a change in how things tasted for about 3 days... it could be described as a metal taste that made all my food taste differently.

It is very possible that the herbs you are taking are doing a slow metal detox.. in time when the metals are out of your body, the taste should return.

I know this doesn't really answer your question but I get this if I get barley even in trace amounts. Could you be getting trace amounts somewhere? Some of the dairy replacement milks use barley and don't disclose it so that might be one place. Some supplements that are labeled gluten free also use barley grass.

May not be the cause for you but thought it might be worth mentioning.

I know that a metalic taste is a side effect of certain medicines and also herbal remedies.

Has the color of your tongue changed?

Two symptoms of pernicious anemia (link to Celiac disease)

change of taste

and a dark red colored tongue

You should probably get a medical examination.

My dentist says that a strong metal taste can indicate an amalgam filling leaching mercury. Please pm rachael_24 or CarlaB, as they know much more about this than I do. This could be potentially very serious.

I've been lactose intollorant for 14 years. Everytime I've tasted cow's milk, I taste metal.

Obviously, it's more reason to avoid milk products.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
