Ok so we all know metallic/copper/blood like taste in the mouth is quite a common symptom of pregnancy, however I wondered if anyone else has experienced soap like taste in the mouth?
I returned from Spain 6 days ago and since then everything I have eaten has tasted like soap. At first I thought something was wrong with the take-away we had got but even things I have cooked myself taste of soap and OH doesn't have this problem. Well today I haven't eaten yet and I have the taste in my mouth although today i would say its more metally than soapy.
I have googled this and come up with 2 possible reasons - 1 is fluoride poisoning which can be solved by changing toothpaste and not drinking tap water. Fair enough but I've not changed toothpaste since before I went away and I've only drunk tap water after it has been boiled in the kettle so surely that would've taken the flouride out it? The second possibility showing up is that it can be a sign of pregnancy and I have read of some girls experiencing it past 26 weeks.
