Why is it whenever i eat or drink anything sweet i get this really gross soury taste in my mouth. it stays for hours & no matter what i do (brushing, flossing, tongue scraping, mouthwash) i cant get the taste to go away?? having no pain btw?

Question

Why when I wake up in the morning and get a drink does it have a eggy taste to it? I floss and brush my teeth twice a day and rinse with breath rx mouth wash. It seems to only taste like that in the morning when I drink something before I brush my teeth.

Answer 1

This could be caused by acidic byproducts elaborated after digestion of sugars by mouth bacteria. Acid reflux can be another mechanism for the sour taste.
