Question 1

discomfort in throat causing sneezing especially after eating chocolate, bitter taste in mouth, and frequent need to clear throat /acid reflux or not?

Accepted Answer

Reflux more likely: You appear to have both acid and bile reflux which can really irritate and inflame your throat   see GI doc.

Question 2

after food i feel like its in my stomach not digested n throat feel a lil tight n nauseous n bitter taste in mouth n little burning in chest. why is that? 
this is 2nd time in a month.last time i had 3 vomits and motions.

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. What you described is suggestive of gastroesophageal reflux disease. If you are overweight, that is probably making matters worse and it would help to lose weight. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably a Gi Specialist. 
Wish you good health!

Question 3

i  get a bitter taste in my mouth after eating and even after just brushing my teeth. what causes this? i also have mucus in my throat but am not sick

Accepted Answer

Gum disease: Bitter taste can be a sign that you are at risk for, or already have, gum disease. The bacteria, along with mucus and other particles, constantly form a sticky, colorless toxic “plaque” on teeth causing the gums to become inflamed and to easily bleed. This condition should be checked by a dentist. It is a painless condition, but can induce serious complication.

Question 4

i get bitter taste in my mouth&bad breath after eating &sometimes it goes away after awhile.my tongue has a yellowish hue to it.what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Yellow Coated Tongue: is an inflammation of the tongue papillae. The condition  occurs when bacteria in the mouth produce pigments which cause the tongue to develop a yellow coating. The causes are poor oral hygiene, medications, fever, dehydration, and mouth breathing. Use a tongue scraper and hydrogen peroxide (5:1 water) as a treatment.

Question 5

is it normal to have a bitter taste in my mouth after tonsillectomy? and diminished sense of taste when eating food? i am 2 weeks post op and wondering when i'll be able to taste my food again?

Accepted Answer

: Assuming you have not had COV ID as cause of taste loss should be better soon. I would ask the surgeon who did it what is the expected recovery time in women like you who have had this procedure in their hands.

Question 6

bitter taste in mouth after tooth extraction/bone graft.still have it 4 weeks later.dr says tooth looks great and taste is not from that. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Bitter taste: Bitter taste in the mouth can be from all sorts of causes. Merely listing them won't really help you. Did you ask your own dentist what he/she thinks are the possibilities even if it's not from the extraction? Did you ask if you should consult with your own physician?  You need to be evaluate by both a physician and a dentist to  figure this out for you.

Question 7

can tonsillitis cause bitter taste in mouth?

Accepted Answer

Tonsillitis: Yes, it absolutely can.  Even more exciting is when you have tonsil calculus or tonsil stones.  These are little white pellet-looking things that fill the pits or crypts in your tonsils.  Not only will they taste bitter, but they'll give you some pretty foul smelling breath, so you won't be the only one who gets to experience them.  If this is a chronic problem, you should get it checked out.

Question 8

bitter taste in mouth and black poop?

Accepted Answer

Reflux / bleeding: Reflux can lead to a bitter taste in the mouth. If reflux is severe it can lead to an inflamed esophagus. Also ulcers can form in the intestines from acid which can bleed. Blood from the stomach usually turns black when it passes in stool. Get this checked to be sure.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: it may indicate acid reflux or due to eating extreme sweets mouth may feel bitter due to sweet withdrawal

Question 10
