A member asked:

Metallic/sour taste in mouth, licking lips is worse. why is this, and what causes it? i have had problems w/acid lately and ibs.

Acid reflux: These are symptoms of acid reflux and should be treated. Perhaps a short course of a medication like Pepcid (famotidine) (over the counter) may imporve the symptoms.
