Well, I think she said she woke up with the taste.? Could it be that she is detoxing either the fish oil or other greasy food eaten in the past?
I think I was detoxing when I would smell the strong odor of cigarette smoke in places where there was noone smoking, like in my car.? Suddenly the worst kind of cigarette smell would permeate my nostrils.? Only explanation to me was that I was detoxing after having lived with a smoker for 25 years.? Fifteen years later, I still smell it sometimes and I stay away from smokers.

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.=20
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,
