@dancing1, Interestingly @abdulhamid50 asked a similar question only yesterday. See my response above. They experience the dry mouth and bitter taste while sleeping where as you notice it after eating.

Since you posted your question in the autoimmune diseases group and you also have Sjogren's, scleroderma and Raynaud's, it sounds like you might be investigating the possible link to autoimmune diseases.

Do you get this during sleep as well? Do certain foods trigger the dry mouth and terrible taste reaction? Is this a new symptom for you?

This has been going on for guide a while … I just thought it was from the extreme dry mouth. But recently the terrible taste in my mouth has so worsened. I do have it at night. I’ve had a terrible time sleeping the last two years but finally in last six weeks getting 6 hrs a night. That is great for me. In the morning my mouth and taste is terrible so I rinse many times brush with no paste( paste in am makes it worse) then rinse more and wipe all my teeth with a paper towel then try to rinse again and drink a glass of water. Last night after eating dinner and trying a new protein shake I felt terribly sick. I took my Gaviscon antacid and it did nothing! I had a terrible time going to sleep and for the first time in A long while had acid reflux. So nauseous! Finally fell asleep. I’m sorry to explain this so difficult for me to even understand. Doctor had told me if I lose anymore weight I might have to go on a feeding tube but I think my weight is staying normal for me now. I’m trying new things all the time. This seems to be worse since I had my second Covid booster but I try not to think that’s why. I have had GI issues for years before the autoimmune difficulties were found. I have an ileostomy also. Whatever this is the bad taste ( even with brushing three times a day and especially after eating is getting worse. The taste also especially the last few weeks. Thank you for your kindness and reading this poorly written explanation. I used to use biotine products and they helped but it stopped helping.
