Constant bitter taste in mouth-could it be silent reflux

Hi. My brother has constant bitter taste in his mouth. He said it started after a deeply stressful day. Some doctors said it's bile reflux but one doctor told me that it may not be bile; the bitter taste may be due to irritable esophagus. I'm not sure, however.

And irritable esophagus, as I remember, is related to stress-related and emotional matters. Ask your doctor about such things.

Thank you,will do

You're welcome.

I have LPR and have a bitter taste off and on. I have slight pain in my ears at times however I get dizzy and balance is off most of the time. My breathing is affected and  I have most of the other LPR symptoms. I still have my taste and smell senses. I have post nasal drip and mucus in throat. I take 40mg of Pantoprazole daily which helps with nausea and globus and reduces the mucus. Good luck with your appointment on Monday.

Hello Jackie

I'm reading your posts from sometime ago but your symptoms are identical to mine and I wondered if you have had any success in finding a solution? I have had the bitter taste for nine months and have seen ENT people but apart from Gaviscon and Plus no real cure and very little relief. I am in the UK.
