SALTY TASTE?

[GEAUX SAINTS 143]

Ok, so I'm 8 weeks out and all of a sudden everything tastes disgustingly salty. It started yesterday, and when I woke up this morning I could still taste it. It's completely overpowering!

When I started eating meat again, spicy food made me cough...a lot! That was new! I used to love very spicy food. I cut the spices down to half as much as I use to eat...I was good with that. Then yesterday this salt thing started and that's all I can taste.

Today I didn't use any salt or anything with salt in it. Still, the taste. UGH!!!

Has anyone else ever had this problem?

I haven't used a salt shaker since surgery. This is only bizarre because I was a saltoholic pre-op. I have noticed that most foods already taste salty, but this has been consistent for me not sudden. Are you taking a PPI? I was just wondering if the spicy foods were causing acid...

Everything tastes salty to me also, but black pepper is worst. I can now use a little pepper, but right after surgery I could not tolerate Black Pepper at all.

I can use pepper, just not Cajun or blackened seasoning. I live in metro New Orleans, so it's quite a problem for me. I've lived my entire adult life down here and I LOVE spicy food!

I haven't used salt for 2 days, but I can still taste it. I've used black pepper, garlic & lemon juice on shrimp and fish. I haven't had chicken since this all started but when I do I'll use a pinch of spice and see if I can handle it. I do take a PPI and haven't had any acid problems since surgery!

Thanks for the feedback! It really helps to know that I'm not the only one!!!

I haven't noticed it yet. I do know when I'm trying to decide whAt to make to eat, nothing is appealing. I've used a garlic/ pepper seasoning when I'm cooking but it hasn't been an overwhelming taste yet. Watch, now that I'm replying it will start bothering me lol
