Bitter taste in mouth accompanied by bad breath?

I do not know what is causing this gross taste in my mouth. It is bitter, a little tingly, tastes so bad, and makes my breath smell putrid. I am brushing my teeth 3 times or more a day and I gargle with a non-alcoholic mouthwash. Listerine does not work. The taste comes back quickly after brushing and scraping my tongue.
This has been going on for the past two weeks!! I haven’t been eating differently. I have had some constipation and, sorry, diarrhea, but that can’t be it!! I’ve had those before with no stinky breath and bitter mouth problems! What could it be?

Bitter taste can be caused by several things like
1.Side effects of certain medicines which could be prescription, over-the counter or even herbal.
2.Enlarged or
3.tender liver
4.Jaundice
5.Tooth abscess
6.Dental caries
Stinky bad breath or halitosis is caused by waste products of oral bacteria which is generally on the tongue in the white or yellow film.It is heaviest towards the posterir regions of the tongue.The bacteria can be in the gums also.
Stomatisis i.e. viral inflammation of the mouth and the food pipe can also result in bad breath.
1.Take Vitamin B complex supplements 2.Take plenty of raw fresh fruits, specially papaya 3.Keep your bowels clean-not by purgatives but by natural fibrous intake like Isabgol husk ( psyllium husk), soaked dry figs, black currants etc.4.Drink 10-12 glasses of water per day 5.Get check up by a good dentist
Could you have an abscess? It’s possible.
Go to the doctor maybe u have infection.
This might sound odd but it’s possible you have something in your nose that is causing the smell, it’s all connected. Give your nose a good clean.
hi, a broken tooth can do that….a bad cavity could do that.. an infected tooth can do that…which is seeping into your mouth. start with your dentist first, and right away, then go to your doctor if need be. good luck!
Does your toungue have white on it?
Could be a condition known as thrush. Thrush is caused by an improper balace of a fungus known as candida fungus. It’s normal to have samll amounts that are generally kept in check by other bacteria in your mouth. But if you kill off to many bacteria by brushing to much or especially mouthwash this allows the fungus to get out of control. I know I’ve had it.

Sounds to me like you have an infection.
Bitter taste followed by a bad taste is the infection draining from somewhere in your mouth.
There are a bunch of things that you could have. An Abscess that burst. Periodontal disease etc… The best thing is to go get checked out, so they can figure out what it is so it does not progress.
sounds like you have a viral infection … that would cause the problems with your breath & with your digestion … please see a doctor.
Those can be symptoms of a serious disease. You should just go and consult your doctors for a thorough check up and proper diagnosis.
