I hate to be so detailed but very few people know what " tin " tastes like, most mistake the taste of iron for tin like a flavor from " tin " cans which is really iron. But on the chance your father really knows what " tin " tastes like that might be a significant difference. I suggestion questioning your father and if it's really a tin flavor or an iron flavor it might make a difference to an interested and knowing doctor. If it's really iron, then I would suggest he is somehow tasting blood. If it's " tin' then I would have no idea where that might be coming from.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 Has anyone out there just had dry heaving spells for no reason? My father eats practically nothing, all liquids and ice cream etc. He doesn't get sick when he eats. He also says everything he eats tastes like tin. Has anyone had this same experience after being in the hospital for a long time without eating? Pancreatitis seems to have all these side effects. Can anyone help. My prayers to all.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 , I was in the hospital last week, and the last day I was there and for a few days after I had dry heaves. Nothing tasted good and certianly nothing smelled good (that was usually what brought on the DH's... smells, yuck). I hope that things get better for your dad soon... as you learn more about the pancreatitis you will see that each person has different problems, you will learn what triggers things too... like me with the smells. Strange but its true. Best wishes and many {{{HUGZ}}} --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain antibiotics can cause a metallic taste in the mouth, also a severe deficiency of the vitamin B-12 will do this. On a more serious note, I would ask if your father has had the CA19-9 pancreatic cancer screening done while he was hospitalized or at an earlier date? As you probably know, I have been doing a lot of research on this subject in the last several days. When you mentioned this new development on top of his other complaints, bells started ringing. I checked my notes again to verify this. Some of the signs are weight loss, loss of appetite, jaundice and a metallic taste in the mouth. I don't wish to alarm you, but since his pancreatitis has already been diagnosed, you might want to check into this, too, just to be thorough. With hope and prayers, Heidi Heidi H.
