Not sure if this is relevant, but started Thyroid-s on saturday, yesterday and today I've had a horrid metallic taste in my mouth that I cannot shift. Does anyone know anything about this?

This is an excerpt and I assume (and I'm not medically qualified) as you continue your NDT it should improve:-

Digestive System

Poor digestion depletes the body’s nutrients and therefore can actually promote and perpetuate thyroid problems. Most physicians agree that many disorders of the body seem to start in the intestine. One such example of hypothyroidism’s impact on your digestive system is it’s important role in the manufacturing of many digestive enzymes required to properly digest your food.

Underactive Thyroid Symptoms Connected to Digestive Dysfunction

Bad breath

Belching

Constipation

Diarrhea

Difficulty in passing bowel movements

Digestion difficulties after eating greasy foods or foods high in fat

Metallic taste in mouth

Nausea, vomiting, or heart burn that gets temporary relief when treated with OTC meds.

Remember that some of you have suffered from these underactive thyroid symptoms for so many years that you have come to believe the way you feel is normal.

Thanks Shaw, the taste is driving me mad, was wondering if it was something with changing from Levo to Thyroid-s....

[shaws Administrator in reply to chloe30uk]

Hopefully it will disappear quite soon. I don't know what to suggest to try to alleviate it.

[chloe30uk in reply to shaws]

Ever hopeful myself, I can't seem to alleviate it ....

[shaws Administrator in reply to chloe30uk]

Maybe if it happened to others who take T-S they will respond.

I know it's a common symptom of menopause, in case that helps at all

[chloe30uk in reply to Pastille]

not suffering with that yet, actually having a period now...

[Pastille in reply to chloe30uk]

Ah prosecco then. I believe that is very good

[chloe30uk in reply to Pastille]

sounds perfect

[chloe30uk in reply to chloe30uk]

it could be the zinc tablets, just looked it up, advised to drink milk!

Are you taking thyroid meds well away from anything else and no food for a hour

[chloe30uk in reply to silverfox7]
