Symptoms at peak included stomach cramps, lethargy and diarrhea as well as the foul taste. Our daughter ate the same pine nuts at the same time but has no symptoms at all. So pleased to find this information - not so pleased to hear we may be in for another week of food misery. We've discovered that bread brings out the worst taste reaction and spicy food seems to mask it. We've just finished a dinner of Indian takeout which was reasonably palatable. Good luck everyone!!

A few minutes ago I searched Mayo cliniic site for"metallic taste in mouth" : they had 13 causes none of which seemed to apply to me(except maybe undiagnosed glaucoma?) Next I searched on google and found this site which seems to be right on target. I've never eaten pine nuts knowingly before (but maybe in a restaurant?). These particular nuts were purchased from a bin in Superstore here in Winnipeg a couple of days ago. Am encouraged that at least one of the writers says the taste seems to be diminishing after 6 days.

I have had a bitter aftertaste in my mouth when eating all my meals today. Only when eating. I kept thinking the food was off, but it was my breakfast granola, to the lunch salad, to a chocolate shake! I googled and sure enough I had a salad with lots of pine nuts in it two days ago! I don't know where they were from since the salad was pre-made in the shop. I just hope it's not toxic since I'm pregnant!. So glad I found these blogs!!

Thank you all. It has lasted four days so far, and everything--even sweets and especially white wine!--tastes awful. The people who feed Wikipedia note that it could be from an allergy. I immediately wonder if anyone else suffering from the "pine nut bittertaste" is also allergic to gin, another consumable evergreen tree product, as I am? It took me a couple years of infrequent but periodic and oddly exceptional hangovers to realize that gin in my former favorite gin & tonic cocktail made me ill. Even just one. On many occasions I would have a few so I ususally wrote off my tolerable but acute discomfort to low alcohol tolerance. In the end, nope! Gin makes me sick--my stomach hurt, and my body ill. I also get a skin rash from touching juniper plants (from which come juniper berries that make gin). Much as I like the drink, I've had to forego it. May do the same with pine nuts. Anyone sympathize with this theory? I am fairly certain I’ve just discovered in this post the cause of my mouth bitterness. Thank you all.

Last week I made a dish I have been making for years with pine nuts. The package was new and I ate a handfull while I was cooking and thought they tasted a little strange. I checked the date and they were good but I put them in the freezer. Two days later the worst metallic taste in my mouth. I thought it was from taking iron so I stopped taking it. Everyday since I have been searching the internet trying to figure out what was going on. Still have the taste but it has gotten better. Sure enough the pine nuts are Amport Foods, product of China. I have been checking products I buy and not buying the products from China, my sister-in-law purchased these for me for my b-day. I just got a fresh batch of basil and was going to make pesto! Guess that is out. Thanks for the info. Last week I made a dish I have been making for years with pine nuts.

Still a bitter aftertaste with some liquids. Way better then before the Pepto! Wine still has a hint of liquid metal taste to it. Bought pine nuts at TJ last week, made pesto last wednesday.
