What Causes Bitter Taste In Mouth While Taking Metformin For Diabetes?
What can be causing a bitter taste in my mouth when I drink water. I have sjogrens so I drink a whole lot of water. I take Metformin for type 2 diabetes. I take Losartan for High Blood pressure and I take duloxetine (Cymbalta). This bitter tasting wate just came on a couple days ago. We live in a city so we filter our water with Brita. When I leave home I always carry a couple bottles of Spring water with me.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The bitter taste may be related to reflux if this is a problem for you.
Reflux can cause an abnormal taste in the mouth.
It can also cause other symptoms in some persons such as nausea, burning discomfort in the chest, cough. Persons may not experience all of these symptoms.
If the problem is severe then the use of reflux medication would help along with other lifestyle changes.
I hope this helps
