Hi Marie

It could easily be the fish oil tablets.  Some brands leave a really bad 
after taste, and others do repeat on you.  There are a few brands out there 
that don't but it is a bit of trial and error.

Subject: Greasy taste in mom's mouth



Hello,

I have mom's permission to post.  First time mom, exactly one week 
postpartum vaginal delivery, woke up this morning with a weird taste in her 
mouth that is not going away at all.  She describes it as if the smell of 
old fast-food fried chicken turned into a taste (ugh).  It is hurting her 
appetite.

She has been and is currently taking Synthroid 112mcg/day, fish oil, 
probiotics and vitamin E daily.  She has vomiting when she takes ibuprofen 
and itching when she takes morphine--no other sensitivities noted.  She has 
an excellent milk supply and baby is almost back at birth weight.

We discussed that this could be a hormonal/oxytocin kind of hit, and she 
wanted me to put this out to you for some more possibilities.  I have 
suggested non-peppermint hard candies in the meantime.

Thanks so much,
