Annrenee ~ Give me a little while to ponder this. I am only 3 months out and no I'm not having any of these problems, but what got my attention was the metal-like taste you're getting in your mouth. I experienced this when I was pregnant --- you haven't been drinking the same water as April and Misty have you? Just kidding! Anyway, that's been about 10 years, so it may take a little jogging of the memory for me to remember what caused it then...  I will get back to you when I think of it... In the mean time, make sure you take all of the Rx/pills that you're taking when you meet with the surgeon on Thursday. Something that's in one of them - or a combination of what you're taking may be the culprit... anyway, I'll get back with you soon... ~ Tara

Tara, Thank you,  no chance of getting PG my kids are 23 and 18  years old.. :)  having a hard time swallowing and the metal taste has got me also, I will take all my meds in to him. I am almost thinking of going back to the 5 day pouch test and stop eating the problems that eating is causeing just isnt worth it,  I rather drink protein then to feel this pain and bloating and gas and heaviness and hard to swallow thick things.  THANK YOU for your reply, you are so careing Annrenee

You really need to go see a Dr. The metal taste could be a few thngs. From something as small as problems with your vitamins like iron) to something as serious as an ulcer or gallbladder.  As far as tje bloating and swalowing problems - have you always been able to eat bread? I am 17 months out and I am still not able to eat bread without getting bloating and stomach problems from it swelling in my stomach. I do not think problems swallowing bread is a complication of anything other than your body not tollerating bread well. If you are having problems swallowing anything else, that would be a concern but you only mention bread. However, the metal tasts is a concern and you need to go get some blood work done. Make sure they also test youfor H Pylori which can help determine if you have an ulcer. I hope they figure it out soon so you get to feeling better.

this is a update on how I am feeling,   Thanks you all,  I woke up at 5am this morning and sick  olordy,  I think I know where the metal taste is coming from my sinuses the pressure on my teeth my feelings, The bread thing,  I do not eat alot of bread but what I have eaten hadnt any problems so it still could be not tollerating it,  I had blood work 2 weeks ago with be discussing it with dr. tomorrow. But I do know now I have a bug sinuses and sore throat, achey yucky all over. But I will still discuss this all tomorrow the IBS has been a problem most of my life so I do want him to help me some how with that there is a new med out that my sister is on,  I am gonna watch what I eat and make sure I drink some protein,  The last couple of days I hadnt got all my vitamines in, So I dont think the metal taste was the IRON.  But again we will see tomorrow thank you for all your inputs and ideas and HELP you all are the greatest. hugs  Annrenee

I agree with Misty go to the Dr ASAP very weird I am pretty sure metal taste is not a good thing. Let us know what the results were so that we know what to look out for or prevent. I am so sorry you are going through this strange thing. Good Luck and prayers
