Gall Bladder Will Be Removed At The End Of This Month And I Am Experiencing A Strong Metallic Taste In My Mouth
Hello. For the past month I have had a really strong metallic taste in my mouth ( I m not pregnant) ...there is a slight white film over my tongue and my taste buds are affected . I am due to have my gall bladder removed at the end of this month and have been having strong gallbladder symptoms this last week, and I have noticed since the gallbladder has been playing up , the metalic taste is getting stronger . Is there a link ? Thank u

Hi and welcome to HCM.
There are plenty of possible causes and most of them are benign and usually subside spontaneously. usually this is caused by sinus or any respiraoty infections. Some drugs can cause it as well. Also, stomach issues,gastritis, gerd or gallbladder stones can cause it. I suggest to have easier diet, brush your tooth 2 a days and have antiacid mediciens. symptoms may improve after cholecystectomy too.
Thanks for the query. Wish you good health. Regards
