Hello,

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

You seem to be having bad taste due to stomach issues. stomach acid can cause throat irritation, bad taste and abdominal pain too.

Here are a few suggestions that can help you get relief off your symptoms.

1) Avoid Fizzy drinks, coffee ,caffeine, tea.
2) Avoid pain killers.
3) Take syrup gaviscon one table spoon thrice a day.
4) Eat high fibre diet.
5) I would also suggest similar patient in my clinic to take omeprazole 40mg a day in the morning and niight half an hour before food and a prokinetic like motillium once a day.
6) You can take over the counter anti vomiting medicines for some days too usually they are prokinetics so help in countering bad taste.

This can be controlled very easily by simple life style changes and medication so don't panic hopefully my suggestions will help you


I hope this answered your question, if you have more please feel free to ask.

Regards.
