A member asked:
My wife is suffering from kidney and urine infection. is it normal for her to have a bitter taste when drinking water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May not be related: If she is taking medications, i would check them for any possible side effects that could explain this. But i would question whether there are any stomach symptoms. Very likely a separate problem such as gastritis, bile reflux is causing some of this sensation. It is not an easy problem to solve.
