Follow up, @celia16 - it's not .. after having a conversation with two docs, and given the timing and the location of the pain, they are 99.9% sure it is not that. Some of the symptoms associations with LC are "gut" issues. Maybe one day we'll know. Thanks!
According to this article "High stress and anxiety levels can stimulate the stress response in the body, which often alters a person's sense of taste. Anxiety can cause dry mouth, which frequently results in a bitter taste."

Are you experiencing high levels of stress around the same time as this started happening?

I do. Is that what it sounds like, and if so, why have docs not asked?! Thanks.
I was referring to the post that described severe abdominal pain. I have multiple family members who had that and ended up being gallbladder.

1 Reaction@lisa1963 , here is a link for a thread that has more recent posts. No sure if it’s relevant to your situation. I don’t have Sjogrens, but posted on it due to similar symptoms. I had bitter taste that turned to salty. Hopefully, you’ll get some responses.
