Hi @power998,
Welcome to Connect, and thanks for sharing your symptoms. More often than not, medications that have been taken for a while can cause a bitter or metallic taste in the mouth. That being said, it can also be one of the symptoms of gallbladder infection.

@power998, we would really like to help and get you the necessary support and information; could you give us a few more details about yourself and your medical history? Did your doctor give you any explanation?

Thank you very much. A small Polyp was in my gallbladder. Doctors said there was no need to worry. But i feel it is getting worse given the bitterness in the mouth for over a year. Perhaps this is due to my lack of breakfast. Do u think medications is necessary?

Hi @power998,
We cannot give medical advice, but you can get more information about gallbladder polyps from this Mayo Clinic article: http://mayocl.in/2gj8leb

What explanation have your doctors given, @power998?
