Hello
Welcome to HealthcareMagic,

I have been through your query and I can understand your concern.Oats are mainly fibrous and as suggested you have been on oats for quite some time now. It might have caused your perception of taste to alter. I think the two has no connection in between. Now the thing might be that your Drinking Water could be causing it, as sometimes heavy water (a lot of minerals) can cause the metallic taste. But if the drinking water is quality checked then it is nothing just your anxiousness.
If Water is not the cause, I would suggest you to stop thinking about it as it will make the things even more worse. Also Maintain Oral Hygiene as taste alterations can also happen in unhygienic tongue and oral cavity.

Thanks and Regards,
Dr Himayun Mir
