Random soapy taste in the mouth after eating

[RAnne1986]

After eating I have a soapy taste in the mouth. This happens at random times and this is a very recent occurrence. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about what it could be? Any help or ideas would be great.

Thanks

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
The soapy taste can possibly be due to the over consumption of fluoride which is commonly present in the Certain mouthwashes and toothpastes , Certain vitamins (Tri-Vi-Flor, Poly-Vi-Flor, Vi-Daylin F) , Fluoridated water & Sodium fluoride liquid and tablets. If you are using the fluoridated paste/mouthwash, then you need to avoid it for a few days and see. Check and see if the water is fluorinated—your civic agency may be able to help you with this information.
Discuss with your dentist. Take care!

Does whoever prepare the food wash their hands right before they prepare the meal?  Perhaps they have not been rinsing their hands as well lately?  I heard of someone who transferred the flavor of germ-x onto food in food preparation.  Lately has whoever been cleaning the utensils and or pans been rinsing thoroughly after washing (if automatic dishwasher, are you seeing dishes come through without soap spots)?
