My food tastes very salty lately
Posted , 4 users are following.
My food has tasted very salty for at least two months. I first noticed this when I ate some 'homemade' beef patties made by the local grocery store, they were so salty that I could barely eat them. I thought OK, a bad batch, but I've had them a couple of times since with similar, although not identical results. We've had these burgers before BTW, with no issues. I just cooked up some wieners and I could not eat them because of the salt. Granted wieners are not the healthiest thing (the cat tries to bury them) and I like to bake them as opposed to boiling, as I find boiled wieners anemic. My BP has also been unstable lately.
I Googled this and did not come up with much, as most of the hits were related to a salty taste in the mouth, which is not what this is. The other condition that can cause this is being pregnant, I don't think that's it. I did find a single reference to possibly being caused by an electrolyte imbalance. I asked my doctor about this and she had no clue, so I asked her to check my electrolytes. I did get a blood test script, but I'm not keen to go to the blood lab ATM.
Anyone else experienced this?

Could it be anything to do with with your taste buds? I've not heard of wieners so what are they (forgive my ignorance) _I'm probably the only one who doesn't know what they are

Yeah, it could be taste buds, but I think it's systemic, as my blood pressure has also been acting up. Since blood pressure can be affected by salt, I'm thinking the two are connected.
Wieners are the meat you put in a hot dog to make it a hot dog, so you probably just call them hot dogs. I've experienced this with ravioli, burgers and wieners, so the wieners are not the issue.
