Soapy Taste in mouth

Postby dekuscrub21 » Thu Jun 05, 2014 2:05 am

I drink pretty frequently, every day to every other day.

If i go for more than 2 days i get symptoms like burning stomach, hot flashes and this WEIRD soapy flavor in my mouth.

I'm assuming its a withdraw symptom cause by an imbalanced pH. I'm guessing my body is doing something chemically to prepare itself to process the alcohol.

Is there something i can do to counteract this? So i dont feel compelled to drink even when i dont want to? I'd like to limit my intake to weekends, but i find it difficult with these physical symptoms.

I tried googling the soapy flavor but the only thing coming up was flouride overdoses. Which it most certainly is not. And one Yahoo Answers question from a recovering alcoholic, which is the only thing that correlated with my experience.

I'm not an expert or professional. And even after looking up the effects of alcohol on blood pH. I don't feel any wiser. :roll: I think this would be good to talk over with a doctor. It could be the signs of something else. That the alcohol is just masking.

The burning stomach could be to do with acid. So perhaps mineral water might help. That might help balance your blood pH too. Plus making sure that you're drinking healthy amounts of water during the day. Along with healthy eating.

It might also be worth trying to push through the symptoms. When you have a quiet week. Or weekend. And see what happens there. Possibly after another day or two the symptoms will pass. And so you can get into a better cycle around when you drink.
