Solution to bad taste in mouth

[Smokygirl]

The vitamins that I take give me a bad taste in my mouth but I have found that peppermint chewing gum clears it completely! Wonderful! Stops me eating chocolate when I get the craving too! Thought I would share! Hope everyone is OK and staying safe xxxx

It's horrid isn't it. I had a med one time that was awful. Post nasal drip makes everything salty...that wasn't nice....peppermint, if it's oil, ok for tum too. No chocolate??!!!🤪👍

[Smokygirl in reply to Hidden]

Hmmmn —- Of course chocolate! If I’m being good just a few pieces after dinner but sometimes every inch of me wants huge mouthfuls of it—— peppermint gum takes the edge off it! 🤣🤣🤣

If you can go out or order online, saline spray for babies may help too. After all taste and smell intimately related.

[Smokygirl in reply to Hidden]

That’s interesting Poops. At the moment I’ve just started my pollen allergy and am using antihistamine nasal spray but I’ve used it for years and never had a bad taste from it.

[Hidden in reply to Smokygirl]

Oh yes...big culprit. I smell manure when I use it but it could be when you take certain meds etc.too. Saline helped better and though the first year I overused it and got a dry nose....just doing it about 3 times a day helped pollen sensitivity etc.

Do you think it would cure the manure smell here? If it is a nice day and you think you'll sit on the balcony or hang out the washing you can guarantee some farmer will think otherwise ...

[Hidden in reply to PMRpro]

If I get into the wilds again I will check it for you.

That's horrid. Does it just hang in a valley or something??

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Hidden]

Not really - they spray the effluent from the cowshed on the fields ... There is a local processing plant that produces energy from it and returns a dry non-smelly fertiliser to them. But that's not "traditional" ...

[Hidden in reply to PMRpro]

Good ecology then.

[Longtimer in reply to Hidden]

Yes, my neighbours uses it too for his veg...awful when the wind blows our way!...😕

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Longtimer]

I grew up in the country and I never had to put up with anything like this is for a few weeks after the ground has thawed in spring. Even the washing stinks ...

[Longtimer in reply to PMRpro]

I wonder exactly what it is then, they do vary in content!!..😏

[Hidden in reply to Longtimer]

I never was a fan of the manure my dad used or the chicken pooh. Especially as they went away for the summer and my job was to care for the greenhouse and do the chicken pooh feed.🤢

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Hidden]

Our house was on the side of a bowl valley and with an uninterupted view across to a farm with chickens and a silage pit. It stank when the wind was from the wrong direction!

[Hidden in reply to PMRpro]

Doesn't smell any better close up when dissolved.

[Longtimer in reply to PMRpro]

My mother came from the country, she used to say it was a healthy smell!

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Longtimer]

There is a limit - and it is frequently exceeded at this time of year

[Hidden in reply to PMRpro]

It must be the micro climate as well as all the matter....

[Smokygirl in reply to PMRpro]

I don’t mind the manure smell as long as it’s not pig stuff—— I’ve always had horses!!

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Smokygirl]

Cows - the milk supply, grass and hay fed only

[Hidden in reply to Smokygirl]

It's fine until it's dissolved. 🤢

[Bridge31 in reply to Smokygirl]

This thread immediately reminded me of Blaster Bates and The Shower of Shit over Cheshire. Not very PC though if you choose to listen to it on Utube !!

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Bridge31]

Hilarious!

[Smokygirl in reply to Bridge31]

🤣🤣🤣

[Smokygirl in reply to Hidden]

It’s not the one with the steroid in it—- I smelled cigarette smoke everywhere with that one—& no one in my family have ever smoked! Mine is just pure antihistamine.

I shall certainly have a look at the nasal spray for babes!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I really can't go without my choccy....nothing compares. I've never smoked or drunk alcohol, so we have to have some vises, don't we ??

[Smokygirl in reply to Hidden]

Same here —- never drank or smoked. When I was at Art College in the 60s everyone smoked pot. They used to make pot cookies at parties, specially for me—- but they only made me giggle!!! Happy days!!

Very useful stuff I do the same. Especially useful at stopping me eating!
