Strange taste in mouth.

[Dannymo]

Hiya, I have a hiatus hernia and had been on Esomeprazole 40 mg daily for about 5 years, when my G P switched me to Lansoprazole and then Rabeprazole because of a possible interaction with my Clopidigrol. After 4 months of trying, none of the new PPI's worked even along with Gaviscon at night and I had the worst reflux for years. I have since gone back to Esomeprazole 20mg daily with 75mg aspirin and have seen a great improvement in the reflux, however I still have what I can only describe as a sensitive tongue and a kind of metallic taste in my mouth. Has anyone got an idea of the cause and how to get rid of the taste, my wife says my breath does not smell even if I have this unpleasant taste.

Thanks Danny M

Sorry to hear your troubles.

Why the GI Drs not talking about curative plans for HH such as nissen fundoplication or LINX.

Experimenting variety of medicines in different dosages won't stop tissue surrounding lower GE junction being damaged in long run. Please do have a read in this forum about long term use of PPIs and potential development of adenocarcinoma in lower GE junction.

Hi. I’ve been on ensomeprozole for 2 years and have this awful taste too. Would love to know some tips for it as Drs don’t really comment
