Maybe you are just to sweet for your own good.  Nah that's not it.

I thought of that, but you are right!   :thx;

150 sounds normal if you had eaten. You needed an 8 hour fasting blood sugar, but considering it was just 150 after food it sounds OK.

How about acid-reflux, that can cause a sweet taste. Another thing that could cause it would be using  Aspartane sweeteners.

No, the clinical diagnosis will tell her it is all in her head!  Imagine that!

Thats what my family thinks about all my symptoms. My wife just this morning I was telling her how I was feeling and she just says yep and started talking about something more important. Maybe I complain too much and she's tired of hearing it I guess.

Rerun did you ever figure it out?

Here's something I talked about in another thread. For me, artificial sweeteners, particularly acesulfame potassium and sucralose (SplendaŽ) give me a sweet taste in my mouth from my saliva that just doesn't go away until after one or two dialysis treatments. You should check to see if these are in your foods. Also, I sometimes get a sweet taste in my mouth that doesn't go away from aspartame (NutraSweet, the blue packets) and saccharin (Sweet 'n Low, the pink packets).

Acesulfame potassium and sucralose are NOT metabolized, so there is a good chance that in dialysis patients, they simply stay in the blood stream until they are dialyzed out. I don't have any research on this though, it's just from personal experience.

I avoid ALL artificial sweeteners.

HI Rerun,

Know this is an old thread but I have the same sweet taste and it has turned out to be zero-sugar drinks I have been drinking.  I am no diabetic and that is what I was told it is that causes it.

I am having a situation that is a little strange.  I remember someone talking about it before in this forum, but I have been unable to find the topic, even though I searched for it.
I am having this sweet taste in my mouth even if I haven't drunk anything sweet.  It happened some time before but stopped.  Now it has started again.  I wonder what causes this.  Does anyone else have that experience?  What should I do about it?  (Washing my mouth out with water does not help; it just comes back)

Yes the sweet taste is a common thing ! I do CAPD and i was told that it is the dialysis fluid i can taste! Not sure if Hemo folk get it ? or what it could be if they do. Not really a lot you can do about it , it does come and go for a few days , without explanation.
