I had a metallic taste in my mouth for several months. I don't know which problem I had caused it, but it is gone now. I also had been taking quite a bit of ibuprofen due to pain from several things.

I was anemic and had stomach inflammation as well. Dr. put me on iron pills, and Protonix. I am not taking the OTC pain meds either now. I had already been taking a multivitamin with lots of vitamin B in it. A lot of other minerals too.

I had mentioned it to my chiropractor. He asked if it tasted like copper? I said no, but really don't know what sucking on a penny tastes like. I didn't find out if the copper taste he mentioned was related to the iron deficiency anemia or not or if it would be caused by some other problem.
