Quick question;
I lost my sense of taste a few yrs ago due to a med that I was taking but sometimes out of the clear blue sky, it comes back for a moment and then dissapears again.
I know when I am 'yeasty' because I get a pasty taste or film in my mouth.
Could the yeast but part of the problem with taste buds?
Just curious.

One time when I was in the hospital with pancreatitis,I was not able to eat,and everything tasted like cardboard.It turns out,with all of the antibiotics they gave me,I developed thrush.It was a white coating on my tongue,and was easily remedied by using a tooth brush to brush the tongue.It was gone in about 2 to 3 days,and food tasted like...well food again.
I haven't thought about thrush in years...I used to get it as a kid, as you said, after a run of antibiotics...it is similar to what I feel...like there is a permanent coating on my tounge and I have a cheesy taste in my mouth (haven't eaten cheese in days or more) doesn't matter what I eat, I have the taste or smell both in my mouth and in my pouch output. Food tastes like, as you say, cardboard.
That is why I thought about bacterial overgrowth. Not sure if thrush is systemic or just in the mouth.
I usually get this way after a severe run of sugar overdose. Hopefully now that I have cut it out for the last 48hrs that it will get better. No med that I have heard of helps.
I will use the tounge scarping technique but I think that it is all through the gut.
Other than diet, any other ideas?

I know this is a super old post but this EXACTLY explains what I’ve been feeling!  Yeasty, foamy watery stools, gas, bloating and the tacky film feeling in my mouth.  If anyone sees this and has any answers please let me know!  

I've been put on antibiotics a few times for it and it eases for a few days then is back again.  

thanks in advance xx
