Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Altered taste perception is a side effect of lithium therapy. Talk to your doctor regarding altering the dose or putting you on another medication. I am sure you will be able to go back to enjoying milk and milk products.
Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
