What the heck is going on? Sat down to eat my dinner and everything tastes like I put sugar on it. I’m dipping my celery in plain old salt and it tastes like sugar, My dill pickles taste like sweet pickles, and my pork spareribs are very sweet as well. I did not put sugar on anything.
Help, this is very offputting and I’ve got to eat.
ETA (edited to add) the only difference in yesterday and today from previously is that I made sure to get enough potassium & sodium. Would that affect my taste?
I did a quick Google search based on those two supplements. This doesn’t sound exactly like what you’re describing but… any chance you have acid reflux? It can cause a sweet taste.
Extra salt can cause acid reflux, which can cause an overall sweet taste to develop.
If you take a potassium supplement and it doesn’t have time to completely leave the esophagus, it can cause acid reflux.

I googled as well and found out it could be lung cancer 
No acid reflux, thank goodness. My BG is 85, so it’s not high sugar.
The last time I took potassium & sodium today was several hours ago.
If I lick my lips (or my arm-I just checked) it tastes sweet.
Maybe I’m coming down with a virus. I just noticed that I’ve got a bit of post nasal drip going on.
I saw that but didn’t want to start with that, Dee!!! 
Geez, let’s hope it’s just a sinus infection or cold! 
Mystery solved! It wasn’t my taste that went wonky, I had inadvertently gotten powdered sucralose everywhere.
I got a packet delivered yesterday from Amazon and it was on the counter where I prepare my food. It hadn’t been opened, but apparently had powder on the outside. I moved it aside which put the dust in the air and settled on my hands, arms, face. Anything I touched after that got some on it.
Maybe the liquid is a better bet. Not sure I’m wanting to deal with the powder now.
Thanks, me too. I had a lot of interesting thoughts going through my head while trying to figure this out. I’d actually gone to bed for the night when it hit me. Now I’m psyched and can’t sleep.
I’m leaning towards hysterical! I felt really foolish when I figured out what it was, but figured I’d better post it anyway, so as not to leave anyone guessing.
