You're probably getting a small electrical charge, known as electrolysis, which happens when 2 dissimilar metals come in contact with one another, which causes that horrible flavor in your mouth.  I have a bridge that does that when eating utensils touch it, and yeah, its a disgusting taste and sensation, very bitter.

Taste buds are specialized tissue which you allow to sense taste. There are three main ones found on your tongue;\n1. fungiform papillae which are mushroom-shaped elevations scattered over the anterior third of the dorsum of the tongue. These allow for taste sensations of sweet, sour and salt\n2. circumvallate papillae which are 8-10 large papillae arranged in an inverted V on the posterior 1/3 of tongue. These allow for taste bitter\n3. foliate papillae which are vertical ridges on the lateral borders of the tongue. These allow for taste sensation sour.

A friend of mine was on Topamax and she experienced tingling in her hands and feet.  She also had a change in her taste.  Anything with artificial sweetners tasted very metallic to her and she couldn't stand the taste of anything alcoholic.  She also suffered from weight gain (about 25 lbs).  All of the symptoms went away when she stopped taking the med.

This happens to me too if I eat a lot of (fresh) pineapple and particularly chew on the core.\n\nI did some research at the time that it happened to me first and discovered that it was the acid in the pineapple that was doing it.\n\nNot too harmful I don't think (though I wouldn't do it daily).\nEverything in moderation.  Numb tongue is probably a sign of overdoing it a bit.\n:)

I didn't find much about that term, but what I did find suggested that it has something to do with the tongue.  Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

irritated tastebuds.\nmaybe you're having a reaction to something you're putting in your mouth.\ncould be a food, drink, plastic pen lid or any number of things.\ngo talk to your doc for possible allergy

sounds like an allergic reaction to certain foods.Watch what you eat when this happens and try to eliminate it from your diet.

If you are concerned, then please see a doctor and be tested.  That is the only thing you can do to find out if you have it or not. In the meantime....lay off the sugar.

Well certain illnesses and medications can cause this. Also being sick with a cold, sinus problem etc... can. \n\nBut with my husband he was pretty much born with no sense of taste or smell. It is not good. His identical twin brother has the same problem but not as extreme as my husband. He can eat, taste, and smell more. \n\nTheir mom did not know she was having twins, really, till she had them. She had another child before this. And they were a bit early too. But still a bit over 5 lbs. \n\nENT doctor and others told my husband there is nothing they can do. He has to put a lot of salt on his food and he only eats certain things. He is a meat and potatoes guy. He does not like a lot. But like he told me. He does not eat a lot, it would be like eating cardboard, how some things must seem to him!!! His weight is normal though.

hmm...that's weird. that only happens to me if I eat food that is too hot before it cools down some. but, sometimes the insides of my gums get a slimy coating, and I discovered that was from using a toothpaste that was too strong. I use crest multi care cool mint and the problem has gone away. maybe you should try to use a sensative toothpaste or google your symptoms

There are several factors in the sensation of taste.  Part of it is chemical; a rectaion to the molecules with specific receptors in an array along your tounge.  This identifies combinations of sweet, sour, salty, etc..., that you interpret according to patterns established by your brain.  Eg, if you are low on salt often high salt low sweet foods 'taste' good.\n\nSecondly, much of your taste is processed via sensory receptors in the nose.  While the basic groups (salty, etc..) are managed by the tounge, the subtlities and higher resolution taste's come from olifactory responses.  When temperature increases, some chemicals in the mixture of whatever you are eating will travel in air with a greater affinity than others, changing the concentration of molecules that land on olifactory receptors, in effect, changing the taste.\n\nThe third and most significant factor is memory and is a learned condition.  Your brain functions primarily by associations -- if the first time you ate lobster was a beautiful day, this association is likely to be made subconciously each time you eat lobster.  I, for example, remember horking the first time I tasted tequila; as a result I feel like horking again on every subsequent taste.    part of your memory with something like icecream is associated with the cold response -- its very different when warm.\n\nHave you ever took a sip of seomthing and grabbed the wrong thing, finding it disgusting b/c you were expecting something else?  As in you think its lemonade and end up with coke, so you pull away disgusted, even though you might like coke?  This is the power of subconcious effects.

Those have probably been there forever and you have never noticed them before. They are sound like they are your circumvallate papillae which is your taste bud that allows you to taste bitter. There are 13 elevations and are arranged in a V shape on your posterior tongue with the V pointing facing posteriorly.

I have the same thing and I looked it up on the internet and a big cause of that is chocolate be cause of the caffine I qiute eating chocolate and dring decaf and stay away from alot of soda that has caffine in them there could also other reasons for it and it could be inner ear problems but I would go to the dr and find out what is causing it. I should take my own advise but I have a fear of drs, god bless.

Pregnancy was my first thought.\ncould be a number of things though---\ngallstones\ni also read if you have a fillings in your teeth sometimes they can breakdown and do this.. they are made of mercury so that would leave the tin taste in your mouth which is not a good thing so if you have any filling get your dentist to check them out --its dangerous when they break down.\nchemo patients also have these same symptoms.\nsome medications such as sleeping pills do the same thing

Could be thrush (yeast) or could be that you are fondling your new braces with your tounge too much as we have tendency to touch excessively any new anomily, ache or sore tooth etc without being able to stop, lol. That would be my first guess. You are just irritating it by getting used to the braces. And the white spots would be inflamed tastebuds.\n\nAlso eating a lot of sour or acidic foods or candy can irritate the tounge to the point of getting sores and being raw and inflamed.\n\nIf its not better in 2 days I wold see the dr or do some research on yeast. Which could also caused by too much sugar.\n\nRinse your mouth with salt water. Take some extra vitamin c as soft tissue repair needs lots of C. Along with your regular multivitamin.
