If this has happened more than once, you should tell your doc about it. Like Niko has explained, there could be several causes. Certainly nothing to be overly concerned about, but definitely worth a mention to your doc!
still paranoid about the dish soap thing as i can taste it everyt ime i gulp or burp some one please help its driving me nuts
that cant be right because every time i swallow now i taste the soap so i d0oubt its any relation in to what was said before about dysgeusia and neko trying to talk with them is tough at times
Hi onkarb!
You must be able to communicate this with your parents.
If I understand correctly, you have an altered taste sensation (dish soap)
that has a longer lasting effect than your dinner.
This is called Dysgeusia -I'm thankful for my strong Greek background(I have a certificate in Greco-Roman linguistic studies).
Certain medications can cause this (check with your Dr. or Pharmacist)
B12 or Zinc deficiency, damage to your taste buds, smoking, fungal
infections; anyone of these could be a causative factor.
So arm yourself with knowledge and discuss this with your parents.
No need to see your counsellor for this*, however, you may have to see
an Otorhinolaryngologist (ear nose and throat specialist) - another medical
term from neoclassical Greek.
Take care!

i have tasted soap in my food before and its different foods and it has happened before, i also have anxiety that has been under control and no i have not told my doctor about the soap thing i was hoping to get some advice here as if i mention to my family they will assume im crazy and now i cant get the taste out of my mouth either
What has happened before? You having a taste of dish soap in your mouth? Or anxiety?
If the soap, does it happen with certain foods? Any pattern to it? Have you been seen by a doctor? Sometimes, a benign health condition can cause strange smells and tastes.
Obviously, since you already have a therapist, I'm assuming you're not new to anxiety? What kinds of treatments have you tried? What is your fear exactly with the taste?
You're not alone, MANY people suffer with anxiety on a daily basis. It's terrible.
