Not sure if it linked to PBC as such, but I had it once, might even have been before my diagnosis. I lost the ability to taste sweet things, consequently every thing I ate tasted bitter. It lasted about 3 weeks and Ive never had it again. Just put it down to one of the many weird things that happens to me.................
hello, it might be, also have a bitter taste, no matter how much mouth was I used, still after a while metalic taste, also no apetite, but not loosing wt, any tips to feel hungry again??

I get it as well and the mettalic taste and put it down to the drugs, I also don't want to eat and I have to force myself to shut my husband up, but then again I am loosing weight......rapidly, look great with my clothes on but like a wrinkled prune if I take them off :o)

Strange isnt it, also im not on any drugs as not been diagnosed yet ! My weight is a problem like yours i am skin and bone. I love my food though so eat plenty but it makes no difference at all. Some people are envious as I am so thin but actually its not great i would sooner be a healthy size ten but am 4 to 6 !
wisegeek.com/what-causes-a-... I had a bitter taste quite bad once and I told the Dr. it tastes bitter, like bile. She said " It is bile". I have the acid reflux.
As of now I'm using Nexium and Carafate, for I get heartburn or nausea from most things I eat. I can get away with milk, yogurt and ice cream though. I weigh too much at 160 lbs, 5ft 5 inches. I was 5 ft 6 or more when I was young! I also have osteoporosis also.
Wish you all were well, Magnolia
I've never really tasted anything like it should since being diagnosed with PBC, the results are that It puts me off eating some days.
I have always blamed the osteo drugs for the metallic taste especially the calcium and vit D I came off them for a while and felt a whole lot better, I started to put weight back on and now I have been put back on fosamax I don't want to eat as it tastes horrible and i have lost 8 lbs. in 5 weeks.
