Why Do I Get Taste Of Sewage Occasionally While Eating And Drinking?

I have a taste of sewage in my mouth occasionally when I eat or drink. It does not happen all the time and does not happen with the same foods or drinks. I can drink or eat something at 1 time with no issues, then later that day or the next, have that bad taste. What is going on? Thanks

Hello,
I have gone through your history, It is suggestive of Halitosis (Bad Breathing). It may be due to Food and drink,Smoking, fasting,low-carbohydrate diets and Medicines.
For my patients I would have advised
1. Gently cleaning the tongue surface
2. Eating a healthy breakfast
3. Chewing gum: Since dry-mouth can increase bacterial buildup
4. Gargling with chlorhexidine mouth wash
5. Maintaining proper oral hygiene.
If you follow this definitely your symptoms will come down.
Thank you for the post on HCM.
