Question: I have had a bad taste in my tongue for about 3 months now. I have been to a regular doctor for blood work and had B-12 shoots for low on B-12 went to a gastrologist and had the scope down my throat to see my stomach because I thought I had acid reflex causing the bad taste but that was not the case.
I have been on anti fungal medicine, stelroids, had an MRI and also went to an ear nose and throat Doctor that also stuck a scope up my nose and down my throat to also see my sinuses. I have been to 3 doctors at this point and no one can tell me why I have this bad taste.
I have not had any dental work lately and what work I did have was to get rid of the metal filling and got new white bonding ones about a month before this started to happen. I have also been to a health food store where someone suggested to use olive leaf and all flora vitimins. Can you please help?
