I don't know how others have handled the terrible taste in their mouth but I am having a time of it. To me it taste like pure salt at all times. It is so nauseating that I can hardly eat anything. I tried to eat a half of an egg sandwich with mayo and couldn't get the first bite down. Tasted like old grease. Several things I have tried to eat taste like old grease as well. I have mints but they also taste like salt. I don't know what to do as I am not getting enough nutrician down to keep a bird alive. I weigh about 125 lbs and can't afford to loose weight. I drink the ensure and water, eat jello and yougart but that is all I can stomach. Any suggestions as to what to do? Thanks, Angel
