VERY strange condition. Any ideas would be great?

Hello,

My little sister has recently developed a strange condition. Not going to bore you with details about her quest for a diagnosis but rest assured she has been to doctors, specialists and they have nothing...

Heres the condition...

She gets a chemical taste in her mouth if she eats Skittles candy, Coke or other non diet sodas, mustard, breath mints and touth paste. Im sure theres alot more but this is all shes compiled to date.

We have tried process of elimination and it points towords these items...

This morning after some research I asked her to try some pure lemon juice and it caused that same taste. I asked knowing they use lemon juice in alot of items.

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

    You're exactly right. Also it might be the preservatives used in these products too. Have her try just eating and drinking products without preservatives and see if this helps too. These all use different coloring dyes also. She could be sensitive to the coloring additives. These things are in allot of products so try one at a time. She might have to eat organic fruits and veggies and just fresh meats without the coloring. Beef uses a dye to make it look red too. Have her stick to poultry, fish like tuna, and non processed foods. No cold cuts especially things like bologna and hot dogs are completely out too. She'll really need to watch her diet, but here's some ideas. Last, she might go to an allergist that can test her to see what exactly she's sensitive to. This is another short cut, but it might take some time before they hit on the right thing. It would also be worth the wait if she can find out too. Good luck and God Bless

    Has she had her ears checked? I got a metallic taste in my mouth for two weeks after I had my ear operation, it was a side affect. It could be caused by a sinus problem. Also to much mercury like found in fish or drinking water can cause this. As well as acid from the stomach reacting to what she is eating and drinking. Good luck!

    Mourinho won the CL with Porto... beating United... what money did he have there and with Inter and RM he has spent intelligently, has Mourinho spent 30m on a participant at Inter or RM? Like Ferguson has? What approximately Alex 'money' Ferguson.... ?? You heavily think of guy Utd will stop to exist? you do no longer think of a few billionaire won't step in by there? I guess you, alongside along with your different delusional and hypocritical followers, does not be complaining approximately paying for the league or spending rather a lot of money if the money have been made attainable....
