Feeling bitter taste in food
I am asking for my mother. She is on medication for Diabetes, Blood Pressure and Thyroid & all are under control according to recent check up also.
But she feels bitter taste in most of the food she has. Mostly she has homemade food which we also have but we feel the food to taste as normal only. She feels it's salty or bitter. What could be the reason for that?
Please do let me know what could be the issue and what further action has to be taken.
Thank you

It is possible that it could be due to her medications, especially certain group of medicines for BP called ACEI/ARBs.
It could also be because of glossitis ( vitamin / trace element deficiency )
There are multiple other possibilities, but none really alarming or warrant change in medications if her sugars/BP/thyroid are in normal range.
