So all day today I have had this horrible taste in the back of my throat. It smells awful and tastes like you would think sewage would. Is this normal? What is it? I also had a bout of nausea today as well. I wish the nausea would disappear. I seem to be on a cycle - 2 days just fine, one day of nausea, 2 days just fine, one day of nausea. LOL

You are experiencing Ketosis. That's a good thing. Means you're burning fat!

But yes, the breath it causes can kill a horse. Horrible. Lol.

Oh Babbs what would I do without you! You have been so informational, I'm honestly so happy that you are here for support!

Now, How long does this horrible taste last? LOL

Isn't she just peachy! LOL, it will last as long as you are throwing off Ketones. Trust me, you get used to it! It's the downfall of high Protein, low carb.......

I'm having the same problem. I don't remember this when I've done the Adkins diet though.

Funny, that's when I first experienced it was on Atkins.

Your body should adjust soon. I really only remember it being a couple of weeks. In the mean time, brush your teeth a lot and stay clear of other people until it passes, lol. If you can make sure to really suck it until it disappears, maybe some sugar free mints.

Oh, and the nausea is also normal. I was nauseous every morning for a couple of weeks post op. Some people have it for weeks, some months.

Hang in there. This will all be a distant memory soon enough!

Maybe you have a couple tonsil stones. Those wreak!! Just like what your talking about. Google tonsil stones, they are nasty little buggers
