Omg! Sucking on a latex balloon, No but why do i have this taste? WHY

I painted our fridge today. I thought maybe i touch the fridge and even though the paint is dry. I feel like i ate some while preparing dinner. But i have gargled, scraped my tongue and brushed twice. It wont go away.
Then I’m thinking i read about Keto giving a sweer taste. I googled more tonight for a remedy. See people say its a metallic taste. I could see that’s what im tasting. But i swear its more like a latex balloon. You know when your blowing up balloons then you go to lick your lips and you taste it.
The worst thing is. ITS GIVING ME A HEADACHE!!!

Brushing often or mouthwash got me through that phase, it didn’t last too long for me. Maybe a month or so.

Maybe your assumption that the taste is giving you a headache is just correlation? I once got a little light-headed when my sodium for the day was low and I know some people do get headaches when their sodium levels are off kilter.

This is just a shot in the dark, but since our olfactory shares a nerve with our sense of taste, maybe your tasting what your actually smelling. Have you tried smelling coffee or tea tree oil or doing a sinus rinse to see if that helps the taste? I’m just tossing out ideas since you’ve tried everything else mouth related.

Paint is still strong i guess. But
Maybe your right.
It might be both.
I gargled and brushed and scrubbed.
Taste was there. Not strong.
I got dressed for work and the last thing i did was go to the kitchen. I could smell the paint on the fridge. Its been raining so maybe never dry all the way.
Smell upset my stomach. I tried to wait a bit longer driving to work before i bit off a tiny piece of gum and it made it worse at first
But it was better. I spit ot out so i can just forget about it and focus on something else.
So for the past few hours ive been taking my electrolyte water. Just had 1 egg. Taste subsided. I left window and doors open just incase for the fridge… drinking water just incase its is the keto effect.
