I have eventually worked out that, after the weird illness I had 2+1/2 years ago (when the symptoms first started), I have developed a garlic & onion allergic reaction which I believe to be the cause of my 'funny' taste (not always sweet, but sometimes can be).
I also sometimes feel short of breath the day after eating onion and/or garlic - today for example as I had a curry last night.
After searching for symptoms of a garlic/onion allergy, a sweet taste and shortness of breath are purportedly two of the potential symptoms. (I don't want to post a link here as I wasn't convinced they were particularly professional websites, and of the 3 I checked, they all seem to have copy/pasted from each other or a different identical source, but you can search for yourselves.)
I have yet to have this clinically proven, but I am pretty confident now in my self-diagnosis, as the taste and shortness of breath go away if/when I manage to completely avoid onion/garlic for a good few days (this is quite a difficult thing to do!).
The shortness of breath disappears a lot quicker than the funny taste.
(If you are a diabetes sufferer, disregard the above, it will be your diabetes causing the sweet taste, I presume, this was the first test I was sent for by my GP.)

Wondering if this is my problem. I have always drunk Diet Pepsi, preferring it to Coke Cola, and have to admit I drink a lot of it. The last six week I have had a constant sweet taste in my mouth, combined with a feeling of nausea. I am Type 2 Diabetic. Even when my bm's are normal, this still persists. I have been to the doctor and await the results of blood and urine test. Meanwhile, I am going to cut out the Pepsi and see what happens. Fingers crossed.

Same with me. Infallibly every time I drink something with "fake low fat" sweeteners, I get a sweet saliva that won't go away until the next day no matter what I eat or drink or if I wash my teeth. I still don't know if it happens to me just with Aspartame because today I drank a soft drink with a mix of Aspartame and Acesulfame and I got this sweet salivation afterwards. So it would be Aspartame or Acesulfame in my case. Glad to know I'm not the only one!

I've noticed this, too, but only after a diet soda or an Atkins shake, which contains aspartame. Any idea how it is produced? It last four at least 4 or 5 hours.

I've had this sweet annoying taste in my mouth for about 3 weeks and it's right underneath my tongue. I read this comment around the same time I got this taste to find answers and ignored it. I always eat ramen noodles and never considered noodles to be reason. I haven't had noodles in 2 days. I just ate one and it's back. Stupid noodles traumatized me thinking it was ketoacidosis. Never eating Nisin ramen again

This has to be true, I made the mistake of getting a sugarless beverage and I knew it tasted funny but continued to finish it( stupid me) ugh I am dying for hours afterward now. You are exactly right nothing helps it is as if I am secreting the aspartame :(

Aspartame is the only one I can stand. All the others leave a terrible after taste in my mouth.
