I have hear that when you have a metal tast in your mouth that it means you are lacking somthing. Well i have a metal tast im my mouth and am very dizzy, and I can't keep ANYTHING down (thats not normal for me).

Oh I do have braces but thats not what im tasting..and my braces dont tast...Lol.

..maybe your low on iron..i dont know if that gives off a metal taste or something, but you might have low iron, talk to your doctor about it, he or she might know what is the cause of it.

I hope its just iorn... but I have been really wanting fruit, and I have read also that when you crave things its somtimes because your missing somthing. So I wounder what fruit has that I may be missing. I will let you know what that metal tast means when I find out...Lol. Its bothering me that I cant remember! Mad

a metallic taste in your mouth does not nessesarily mean you are lacking something, many many pregnant women get a metallic taste because they have excess mucus (snot) and many times it causes a post nasal drip and that can cause a metallic taste (i have had post nasal drip since i was little so i know how nasty that taste can be lol)
