Bad taste in mouth (literal not figurative)

[annie-w]

Does anyone get a bad taste in their mouth with their ibs. I am having symptoms later in the day I assume as a result of eating of slight nausea, stomach discomfort and bad taste in mouth. I saw somewhere that brushing your tongue as well as your teeth can help and this does seem to be true to a certain extent, although it doesn't go completely. It makes me feel very uncomfortable. Any suggestions. Sticking mainly to low fodmaps diet..

Have you been tested for helicobacter Annie?

[annie-w in reply to Therapist1]

Thank you for your suggestion. I had an endoscopy a few months ago which detected a small ulcer or incipient ulcer for which I took omeprazole for while then stopped. No helicobacter mentioned. Seeing gp soon should I ask him about it?

Hi Annie, I would ask GP for the test, if nothing else to rule this out. Another thought is candida but I would rule out helicobacter first.
