@jcb25 I had difficulty with a metallic taste in food when eating and found that switching my silverware to using wooden/bamboo or plastic (IKEA children’s cutlery) helped.

@anndri3 Thank you so very much for replying! That is a great idea, but she has been eating entirely from her GI tube since last May of 2025, because of saliva and swallowing issues. But I will tell her about what you did, because I think she had that metallic taste issue too, when she tried to eat solid food before. Thank you again, and sending you well wishes!
