gertie Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 After 25 years of weird stuff this is one of the scariest. I was having a small bowl of homemade organic veg soup & decided to add a few saltine crackers, which I don't normally eat. The soup was good, I tried it w/o crackers. The first bite with the crackers was excruciatingly sp? salty. I thought I would adjust to it but after 3 or 4 more bites I couldn't eat anymore. After that every bite of food I try to eat taste so salty & horrible I almost throw up. I tried a slice of bread, bite of apple, peppermint candy, baked potato, milk. Everything taste so horrible I would throw up if I tried to eat it. My throat & tongue are sore & raw on one side. My DH tasted the crackers & said they taste ok to him. What is going on with me. I'm on no medication. The only thing I've done different is use Estriol bio-idential hormones (pea size) & only used it twice & didn't use it yesterday. Could that small amount of something change my body this much?Anyone else experienced anything like this? If I don't get where I can eat what will I do. I don't know a dr that would know what to do with me. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Alicia,When I had my worst crash, food began to taste funny. Sweet things especially left a strange, almost metallic aftertaste that lasted for a very long time. It took about six weeks for that the run its course. I really don't like salty foods and never have; it is hard to up my salt intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 The throat & tongue being asymmetrically sore seems extra fishy. I had a shingles rash ages ago and it was on just one side... thigh region. It's basically a re-emergence of the chickenpox virus. I've read it can emerge in places one wouldn't expect like the eye... wonder if it could hit tongue & throat??? I don't know if that's possible.

gertie Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Thanks for your replies. I hope shingles can't get in your throat & mouth, Would shingles make everything taste bitter? The only thing I've managed to eat is 1/2 raw carrot. All the dr's are off for the holiday weekend. Hopefully I will be better by Mon. Hope you have a good weekend.
