Default Excess Saliva and Everything Tastes Bitter?
I don't think I'm sick, but over the last couple of days water and other liquids have tasted bad to me...bitter. And I also seem to be producing more saliva than usual. Now this started one day after I took 2 days off the LCWOE for my birthday. I started back with LCE Wednesday, and by Thursday I was experienceing this.

Has anyone ever had this problem?

Thanks.

Ken

Ken, I have thought about it some more. I am not sure that what you are describing is related to a low carb lifestyle. You may want to discuss your symptoms with your doctor.

Ken, you will definitely want to discuss this with your doctor or at least call in for a phone conference with his nurse. It's my understanding that excessive saliva can be a side effect of some medications, as well as, exposure to certain substances in the air. Let us know what you find out.
