What’s That Weird Taste In My Mouth?
Over the last few weeks I have been getting this weird taste in my mouth. I would normally just drink some water and then ignore it. That doesn’t work anymore. The taste is too intense now, and not in a good, rich chocolate cake sort of way. It will only subside after I eat, due to the foods different flavor masking the odd taste.
I have been trying to figure out what it is, but can’t quite put my finger on it. It started occurring after I incorporated more intensity into my work out routine. Around that same time I introduced creatine and amino acids in my post workout shakes. I thought that maybe I wasn’t getting enough hydration, but trust me, I drink tons of water and it doesn’t feel the same as having a dry mouth.
What does it taste like? Well, I think it tastes like the whey protein and glutamine that I drink. The taste is mostly on the underneath, towards the back and sides my tongue. Could it be the protein and glutamine? I don’t think I drink too much of it. Could there be some remnants collecting under my tongue?
What the heck is that weird taste in my mouth? Have you had any similar weird tastes in your mouth? Any professionals out that with any advice?

I once had the taste of cucumber from my subway sandwich in my mouth, icky. Either get used to it, chew gum, or stop doing what your doing to get the taste in the first place.
I think i have a solution.
Have you taken any medication or still are? This can be the problem, some times different substances in them can react with something you eat giving you different unwelcome effects.
But feeling bitter taste, Unami taste, the latter you taste from certain amino acids (glutamate, aspartate and related compounds) both tastes are caused by raised Ca2+ in you mouth. That’s what causing the weired taste.
What you can do is try to find a mouth wash with chemicals that would join the Ca2+ removing the tongue buds of registering the “taste”.
Try buying some with sulphuric solution that should do it.
But I think that what you experience is the taste of creatine, creatine tastes very bitter, I personally have to rinse my mouth 3-4 times before I get rid of the damn taste after consuming it, small particles always stuck between the teeth, under the tongue and on it, making you still feel the damn taste.
But the mouth wash with sulphur makes it a lot faster to clean that shit out.
That totally helps and makes sense. I started gargling with listerine. the taste is subsiding.
Good to hear, finally I can share my experiences and knowledge with others in need
yeh you hit the nail right on the head.
Hi Israel, I would also ask if you’re taking any medications. That’s the only time I’ve experienced a funny taste that just won’t go away.

i have been getting a weird taste in my mouth as well and the meds i have to take its a must for me to take the meds but the taste is very unpleasant does anyone have any remedies that can help?
I have having the same problem right now.(I actually found this site googling the problem) After reading what you think your problem is I now believe it could be caused by all the yogurt I have been eating since that is about when it started.
I have been experiencing quiete the same issue right after I ate a pupusa, first it started out the next morning I woke up w| the aftertaste of pupusa I brush my teeth everyday and rinsed my mouth and till this day I still have that same taste I don’t know what to do. I checked the back of my throat and I didn’t see anything weird, but now when I eat, drink, or swallow I have an odd bitter taste that is bothering me and I do NOT enjoy my food!
did you find out what’s causing it?
Yes, the supplements I was taking.
