One day, out of the blue, I experienced a salt block in my mouth! Everything I ate tasted like plain salt. Pure water tasted like ocean water. I bushed my teeth 4 or 5 times a day to try to get rid of it. I believed that because I used so much salt over my lifetime that it caught up with me. I cut ALL salt out of my diet for 2 years. I refused to eat a steak (T-bone is my favorite food!) because it needs salt! After two years, the taste slowly dissipated slowly day after day. Finally, the taste left my mouth and I am able to enjoy food again! Does anyone know what caused it? I never want to spend 2 years of my life in that condition. Perhaps if I know what caused it, then I can get rid of it faster if it happens again! Any suggestions?
