Can Bitterness In Mouth Be Caused By Eosinophilic Esophagitis?

About 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Esinophilic esophagitis which I manage with Nexium and Fluticasone (taken occasionally). About 2 years ago I started to get a bitter/ metallic taste in my mouth which lasts about 2 months then disappears before reappearing about 2 months later? Are these
related/ what can be causing this bitter taste?

The bitter taste in the mouth could be the acid from the stomach which is regurgitating in your oesophagus. You may continue taking nexiumwhenever you have these symtoms. You may also consult a Gastroenterologist if symptoms persist.
