What Causes Metallic Taste In The Mouth, Abdominal Bloating, Swollen Foot And Fatigue?
Question: I have a metallic taste in my mouth, bloated stomach, diarrhea, swollen feet and fatigue. I have a doctors appointment Monday for something else. Should I be alarmed?
Brief Answer:
SUpportive care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern , metallic taste in mouth is likely due to bowel discomfort of bloating and diarrhea. Also use of imodium also can trigger the metallic taste. Not eating anything over it triggers it further.
It needs supportive care. Small frequent meals, BRAT diet ( banana, rice , applesauce and toast) for diarrhea, green tea, pomegranate juices and frequent use of yogurt and peppermint. Regular exercise and frequent walking will help the motility. Salt water and garlic water mouth rinses will help with the taste. Frequent fluids intake will also do. No issues, its a benign issue and self resolves.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
