Ammonia taste in mouth
Common Questions and Answers about Ammonia taste in mouth
ammonia
Some describe it as “tinny,” “metallic,” “ammonia,” “blood-like,” “blood in the mouth,” bitter, or some other odd smell or taste. This smell or taste is not related to something you’ve eaten or from your environment. Most often it has no rational explanation.
So that could be most likely just a form of a panic attack but since you said you are on meds I would report this to your health care provider and have them look into this. It could be a side effect and you need to ask a professional.
We discovered that my husband had an episode of Encephalopathy, which is high ammonia in the blood.
But by the time we had his blood checked his levels were right smack in the middle of the range. Doctor said he was fine. So my question is can this ammonia gone untreated continue to rise and lower on its own. Because he has days that he seems fine and then days when he is not with me completely. He does not eat much as his taste buds are totally out of wack. Most foods taste very salty.
I copied and pasted this info from WebMD. IUn used "urine and ammonia" in the search field. Within the article was a subsection dealing with smell. Here it is. I hope it helps:
Odor Changes
Urine normally doesn't have a very strong smell. If you get a whiff of something particularly pungent, you could have an infection or urinary stones, which can create an ammonia-like odor. Diabetics might notice that their urine smells sweet, because of excess sugar.
Hi recently developed a strange taste in my mouth. The taste is bad and it makes me feel like i didn't brush my teeth even after i spend at least 5 minutes brushing them. Recently i have developed a infection to the left side of the base of my tongue.I look like small bums and it burns. I think it is inflamed. Could this infection cause the taste in my mouth? How could i solve this problem ?
The usual oral dose of lactulose is about 15-30 ml given twice a day to induce 2-3 soft bowel movements daily. Abdominal bloating and a sweet taste in the mouth are the principal adverse effects associated with normal doses of lactulose.
Xifaxan/Rifaximin works in a different way. It's an antibiotic that reduces the amount of ammonia produced in the gut. (It doesn't draw fluid into the bowel like lactulose or kristalose does.)
Good luck to you!
Along with the H pylori I have this weird body odor which smells slightly of ammonia and somewhat meaty? I have this weird taste in my mouth as well. I was taking a prevpac for 14 days and I thought that would take care of the weird body odor as well as kill off the pylori bugs. My stomach feels better but I still smell weird? I also have bright red blood in my stool with each stool. At this point I have no idea what's going on. My pancrease, liver, spleen, and kidneys are normal.
Hi I am experiencing the same kind of symptoms, with dry mouth, and really bad taste in my mouth, And peeling on the roof of my mouth, and severely chapped lips all of the sudden, after giving oral to my boyfriend as well So I started researching cuz i had the sore throat cold chills and body aches so it scared me cuz this was three days after I had given Oral, and I was worried I had caught something from not protecting myself with him.
It could also be an abnormal perception of bitter taste called dysgeusia. GERD and heart burn too cause metallic taste in mouth. Post nasal drip as in sinusitis, salivary glands infection, pharyngitis or strep infection too are common causes. Certain dentures and artificial tooth or filling of dental cavities too give an odd metallic taste. Sjogren’s syndrome and copper or lead toxicity are other possibilities. It can also be common side effect of many medications.
I have had a "salty" taste in my mouth that nothing seems to get rid of. Recently, I had a really bad (putrid) taste that my dentist attributed to a bridge that was loose. My dentist removed and recemented the bridge, which seemed to eliminate the really bad taste, but not the "salty" taste. It seems to be coming from the same tooth that had the bad taste. My dentist declares that it cannot be from this tooth, that the cement has sealed the tooth off.
I have the worst taste in my mouth. First, it started off as a metallic/copperish taste. Now, it's progressing to a soapy taste. No matter how much I drink, brush my teeth, or rinse my mouth out with soap, I still have this awful taste. I went to the dentist today and he said everything was fine... no gingivitis, irritation, etc. Nothing.
The only thing I can think of is I took an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) for a sinus infection weeks ago. Other than that, nothing.
There are many reasons for a foul taste in mouth such as medications, infection of gums or cavities in teeth, post nasal drip as in sinusitis, salivary glands infection, pharyngitis or strep infection, dentures and artificial tooth or filling of dental cavities, Sjogren’s syndrome and copper or lead toxicity, poor oral hygiene, diabetes, liver problems, vitamin B12 deficiency, and over consumption of fluoride which is commonly present in certain mouthwashes and toothpastes , certain vitamins (T
I wasn't entirely sure where to post this so forgive me if I made a mistake. Anyway for several months now I've been noticing that when I happen to stick my tongue out for any reason there is a bad taste in my mouth. It isn't causing bad breath (at least I don't think so) and it does happen when my tongue isn't out, but only occasionally and it's less intense of a taste. It also seems to come and go, as sometimes it seems completely gone for a few days and then returns.
A bad and bitter taste in the mouth can be a symptom of L.P.R.D. and so can post-nasal drip (which perhaps might account for the salty taste?)... I have G.E.R.D. myself and have had gastritis a number of times. I can get an acidic feeling in my mouth when it's bad enough. It does sound like your reflux is not being controlled with the continual taste in your mouth. With the mucous in your throat, I'd recommend you pursue getting an appointment with an allergist.
Are you on thyroid meds? I'm not familiar with Gapantin. When I started on synthroid back in Jun 08, I got a bad metallic taste in my mouth. I'm now on the generic, along with cytomel and the taste isn't nearly so bad.
