Can anyone out there tell me what are some causes of a sour taste in the mouth. It all started after an acid?

Usally high acid.  Try liquid gaviscon immediately, and if this alleviates it, you probably need a proton pump inhibitor such as nexium, prilosec otc,etc..

Stop smoking or drinking coffee, and when you brush your teeth, also brush your gums and tongue.  Make sure you eat a balanced diet (not too much meat, which can sit in your stomach, and cause the odor to come up your esophagus and into your mouth.)  Also try "breath assure" which is a caplet you swallow, and it releases freshness into your mouth all day!

I'm just going from memory, but I believe it's because the acids in your stomach are breaking down the food, causing gases and nastiness....which basically stinks....I'm sure someone will post a wiki....but that's the gist of it!

Your cause may be more than just dental.  Some people who have indigestion issues such as reflux may also have bad breath.  Your best bet is proper dental hygiene, to include brushing, flossing, tongue scrapping, and mouthwash.  If you know you're going to be talking to someone face to face might be sure to pack breath mints to hold under your tongue just to help...good luck.

it depends on the guy; diet can affect the taste. Things like wheatgerm and pineapple juice make it sweeter, things like processed meat (salami, pepperoni) garlic and onion can make it more sour.

I get this from time to time. Usually when I'm really run-down. Perhaps you need to take more iron with your diet, like red meat and dark green leafy vegetables. It could be other deficiency too, like protein or vitamin C deficiency. Other causes may be that you have mercury fillings in your mouth or if you have some internal bleeding becasue blood can have a metallic taste. Hopefully the reason for your metallic taste in the mouth is just as benign as mine: simple tiredness and you are worn-out. Get some rest and eat healthily!

If she took medication while she was unwell, chances are it is an after effect and should go soon. Among the drugs that can cause a metallic taste in your mouth are antibiotics like Biaxin (clarithromycin) and Flagyl (metronidazole), used to treat a wide variety of infections; drugs used to treat an overactive thyroid; captopril, used to treat high blood pressure; griseofulvin, used to treat skin infections; lithium, used in bipolar disorder; penicillamine, used for rheumatoid arthritis, kidney stones, and too much copper in the body; plus some drugs used in cancer treatment.

You should see a doctor and find out what to do.  \n\nYou need to note when you get them. . .after kissing someone, performing oral sex, eating foods high in acid. . .there may be an over the counter medication that can help for that.

Bases have a bitter taste. Such medicines are often used as anti-acids, to combat heartburn and stuff like that.

'Sour stomach' is caused by bacteria which thrive in a stomach that is out of PH balance (too much acid)...\n\nFor the immediate fix, take anything that has Pink Bismuth in it...\n\nBut for the long term, heal youself naturally by drinking less soda water with sugar, less coffee, and try to drink either Aloe Vera juice, or coconut milk, until your PH is back in balance...\n\nAlso, taking "probiotics", such as acidophylus, either dairy or non, will help bring your stomach condition back to normal...

1) The FIRST thing that comes to mind is the medicine or vitamins that you are taking.. when did the metallic taste start? Did you start taking any particular medicine at that time.. did you start taking Any particular vitamin at that time?\n\n2)A possible solution might be to eat some yogurt or buttermilk containing live cultures.  This will help restore a normal bacterial colony to the GI tract and get rid of the symptoms... I have heard of this being done before.\n\n3) Another thing that comes to mind but doubt if it is done nowadays.. long ago(not too long ago) dentists would do fillings with mercury and this would leave a metallic taste in the mouth....\n\nAll in All... take a look at the medicinal angle.. Did you recently start taking something new???  I wish there was a way to find out what you did to figure out what was wrong but with these Yahoo answers.. theres does not seem to be any way to follow up
