Hi Everyone! Hope everyone is hanging in there and making progress!

Just had a question to see if anyone else has gotten this.

I have a dry mouth and it burns a bit and tastes almost like zinc maybe? My throat feels almost like it would if I was cleaning a room with lots of bleach, or ammonia or something. Like when you get done you almost feel like your lungs are trying to expel it and you can still taste the smell in your throat. I don't use bleach or ammonia anymore..not for at least 2 years or so, so it can't be that.

Has anyone ever gotten this? My tongue will sometimes feel really dry. This symptom is just annoying and almost feels like I'm making a chemical in my stomach and it is coming up my throat lol. So weird. I don't know if it could be reflux, but doesn't feel like it too much. I am doing a liver detox shake twice a day. And taking really strong probiotics and nystatin. I also just started malarone back up and always take azithromycin. My doctor said maybe a zinc deficiency but I get nutritional IV once a week so I'm not sure. It is just on and off...but today it has been constant! Ugh

OK done rambling! Thanks for any replies!

Make sure that the air in the room where you spend the most time is not too dry. Heaters being on will dry out the air and even if it's not the cause of this issue, it will make it worse.

I don't know enough about the abx to know if those symptoms can be caused by them - we will have to wait for someone that knows more! Sorry!!

Hi Traveler-

So I went to the doc today for my IV and they did a zinc test. They said I'm deficient in zinc because I didn't really taste anything in my mouth. I guess I was supposed to taste it lol. So he thinks that might be what was causing the weird taste in my throat and mouth. Have you ever heard of this? I think it's weird because I have been getting nutritional IVs with zinc in them for almost a month and that's when I started to notice the taste on and off. How weird!

It would depend on just how deficient you really were as to whether or not there was enough zinc in the nutritional IV to boost your levels up to a good level or not.

I would be asking whoever is giving you those IV's for a list of ingredients with the amount of each ingredient as well.

Then, this is something that I believe you should read and learn about, as zinc deficiency can be tied to Lyme, actually:

I don't necessarily support the protocol on the above mentioned thread, as I've never known anyone that has used it.

Okay I will definitely read that. I'm going to call the IV suite and ask them. I'll keep you posted. I never was dehydrated or deficient really in anything until lately. I take DDAVP for the dehydration because my ADH was really low. I'm going to call the IV nurse now :)
