Bile taste in mouth, WHAT IS THIS?! Please help!

Hey!
I posted here a few days ago asking if people with GERD thought that my symptoms were related to GERD. Since I posted I stopped taking the PPI's and I noticed that I had acid reflux, I thought that was normal, maybe it was due to rebound but now I am having a taste of bile in my mouth again, its definitely different to the taste of acid. I am waiting to get an appointment for an endoscopy and a scan on my liver. Does anyone else have the taste of BILE and not acid with GERD? Do you think it could be a gallbladder infection? I'm 22 years old, female and I am worrying about this as its been going on a month and I didnt want to take the PPI's for long until I know what is causing these symptoms, anyone else experience this?
I also had a very sore throat which has calmed down a bit now and also REALLY blocked sinuses, feels like a cold, I haven't been sleeping well at all!

I hope someone can shed some light on what's going on!
Thanks guys!

Hi thanks for your response!

I think its bile because it tastes exactly like how when you've been vomiting and the only contents left in your stomach is bile (I know that sounds gross, sorry!)

Actually my throat and nose are a lot better now, I think it was just a cold on top of this because now I gave it to my Mum!

I don't have any other GERD symptoms really, like heartburn or coughing, the main thing is the taste that's driving me crazy, it's there all the time! Even 15 minutes after I eat, I also get a pain in my stomach when it's empty or when I do eat, a pain comes fairly quick afterwards:(
I'm so sad over this I'm supposed to be going travelling and it won't go away! I don't seem to have any trigger foods or anything like that.. I hope its H.pylori and it can be eradicated!

Also I never feel food or anything coming back up my throat after I eat or anything like that its just the horrible taste..

Do you have LPR GC1pink? Can you tell me your symptoms? How do you manage them? Can you drink alcohol?

Thanks:)

I had the bad taste in my mouth and I though it was from sinus problems. It has never completely gone away. I have allergic asthma (respiratory) and went to ENT and the gastro people. Found I had borderline GERD and I was not able to drink orange juice or have any hot spicy foods. Spicy foods makes me belch a lot. Orange juice looks like a volcano of acid.

Then I came down with some sort of a virus with diaherria, vomiting, sickness, fatigue, etc. Starting belching an awful lot and then my breathing went downhill too.

I now have some of the Barrett's problem but it is mild and have to take ppi during the day and another acid reducer at night. NO FUN.

I do not fit the norm because I love fruit and veggies, do not drink alcohol or soda ... but I must have coffee.

Heartburn must be a bummer but all I have had is the sore throat.

best wishes to all

Sashasky77, hi!
I have something like this too. A taste of bile and my tongue is yellow-brownish because of the reflux.
I've been told that it is a bile reflux - it can promote both gastritis and GERD and it can make significant damage to the mucus unfortunatelly.
it is usually happens when the function of gallbladder is low (less then 30%) or when the gallbladder is removed. In my case i have a "lazy gallbladder" with low function.

I try to defeat it since mai 2013 but without much success. I eat PPi's in courses and i take ursodiol for the gallbladder but nothing helps me much. My mild esophagithis progressed to erosive one in a year... and i must say that i am very afraid of the future.

If someone will find the cure - i would be happy. I haven't yet and i don't know how much time do i have...i am cancerofobic now :(

Pompadur and Sashasky77, have either of you found relief for your symptoms? Did you ever receive a determinate diagnosis?
