I'm Currently Feeling:  | metallic taste...
Yuck! I've been getting a terrible strong metallic taste in my mouth whenever I eat. It's so bad that I've had to stop eating even when I'm starving! Has anyone else experienced this? Was there anything you did to alleviate it?  | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | The metallic taste and the bleeding gums are both very normal. Firstly the metallic taste, many people find that peppermint helps and epscially peppermint tea, so worth a try. Hope it helps  As for the bleeding gums, you have more blood in your system now and it continues like this and as a result the blood is pushed to the surface and therefore brushing can cause you to bleed from the abbrasive actions......there really is nothing to worry about. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | My mum got this when she drank certain things. The only thing she could drink was elderflower water for 9 months.
