Skin tastes like rubbing alcohol

 When I read your post I licked my arm just to see and nope, no flavor.  (I'm sure this isn't a prank but it could have been and you probably would have caught a bunch of us.)

Can't wait to find out what it is.  (but you probably won't find out from Dr. B... just saying)

LOL!!  You know me tooooooo well.  I wi**** was a joke, but it's not.

And I agree -- Dr. B will have NO idea.  I'd rather talk to the NUT about it.  She would know more than he does. 

The only thing I can think of is the new vitalady Tender Vita Min capsules.

There may be more Vitamin Bs in it then what the Centrum Silver has in it. The b's smell very strong and will mostly stick around longer then some others.It does have a interesting smell.

So I wonder if that is what is causing the problem.
I take extra k and I dont have the problem so I dont think that has anything to du with it.

are you in ketosis? your body will give off a different smell and you might have a metallic taste in your mouth? i dont know whether or not it makes you taste different? 

Hi I also taste rubbing alcohol but most of the times when I drink sodas. I ask family members if ther drinks tasted different and they don't taste any thing. My body arms don't taste like alcohol but mabe it will later. Well this was happening to me and I was looking up someone else who made might have a answer. I've been taking mega man vitamins for like 2 months but it's weird because the taste comes and goes.family think I'm joking but it has a rubbing alcohol smell and taste. I know this is 5 years later but maybe you found out what it could be. Well just to let you know your not the only one out there I'm sure there's more.

As an update to this thread:

I talked to the NUT this morning at the Bariatric Center.  She also feels that it's the high levels of the B vitamins in the multi.  I have my one year labs drawn in three weeks and she wants me to alternate them taking 1 capsule one day on alternate days and 2 capsules a day on the other days. 

I already had a B12 level above 1500 at my 6 month labs and she said that everyone metabolizes them differently.  Apparently, I'm the one that tastes like alcohol.    Anyway, we'll try that for the next 3 weeks, look at the labs and tweak from there.  

It's pretty bad at this point to not be eating enough due to the alcohol taste of everything and lose 2 1/2 pounds in one week which has now put me below my ideal body weight -- and 10 pounds below my goal weight when I was really trying to maintain. 

Thanks for all the input and opinions -- and the chuckles at the mental image of me licking myself.  LOL!!
