Nothing Tastes Good! :(

Posted : 7/11/2008 5:20:29 PM

I'm hungry, but I can't eat anything. Nothing I put in my mouth tastes like it should! I made chicken wings yesterday that were awesome, but today they taste like they've been in the fridge for a month. I had a bagel with cream cheese earlier, which I managed to choke down, but it tasted awful too. Even a glass of water tastes, I don't know, stale somehow.

I've been using a whitening mouthwash the last couple of days, do you think that could make my tastebuds go all whacky? Its the only thing I can think of that is different. Well, that and the fact that I just don't feel great. I have a headache, my chest hurts like I have to burp really bad, but burping doesn't help. And one minute I'm sweating, then I'm looking around to find the sweater I just took off. I just wanna go to bed...ok, whine over.

Have you been on any pain meds? That can make you loose your taste for food as well. I'd pick something differnt to whiten teeth if I you think thats what it might be!

nope, no meds. The only medications I'm on are Rinitidine for heartburn and tums for the same. Other than that I tough it out. Aceteminofin and I don't get along and being pregnant, I can never remember what I'm allowed to take, so I don't.

I think my teeth are white enough...lol. I'll just leave them.

I'm baking a potato in the microwave, maybe that will taste ok.

Sure the whitening stuff surely COULD make your taste buds go whacky -- I think they go overboard for most of the "you can't do that while pregnant" stuff BUT something like whitener would be something I'd avoid ("Vanity, thy name is Woman!!" *grin*)

Uh, can I get the name of that mouthwash please? Ever since I quit smoking, food tastes WAY TOO GOOD! Anything that makes it taste bad would be welcome at this point. I was on Biaxin for 2+ months for a sinus infection a few years back and dropped 20 lbs. but quick!

Sounds like you're coming down with something. Or just lousy pregnant! Stick out tongue The first few months of my 2nd pregnancy were miserable, I couldn't eat anything either. Then I found Sea Bands.

I'd be willing to bet it's the mouthwash. I tried that "no burn" mouthwash once, and seriously my mouth felt weird and everything tasted terrible for days afterwards.

Its the Equate brand of the Crest whitening pre rinse stuff. Tastes ok at first then turns foamy, and tastes like peroxide. yum...

I havent used it in two days now, and my taste is back to normal so I guess thats what it was. Maybe after the baby is born and I'd like to shed a couple pounds I'll try it again huh?
