Can a cold stomach cause bitter taste in the mouth?

Stomach cold does not usually cause bitter mouth. Dry mouth and bitter mouth are usually manifestations of heat, and people with liver and gallbladder damp-heat (damp-heat evils accumulated in the liver and gallbladder) are prone to bitter mouth. In addition, liver-qi disharmony, liver-stomach disharmony (disharmony between the ascending liver and descending stomach) and other causes can lead to bitter mouth. Patients with bitter mouth are often accompanied by rib pain, dry mouth, red eyes, loss of appetite, aversion to oil and grease, stomach pain and other such symptoms. Cold stomach is usually manifested as stomach pain, slowed down by heat, aggravated by cold, watery mouth, light mouth with a preference for hot beverages, indigestion and other symptoms, thus cold stomach does not usually cause bitter mouth. If you have a bitter mouth, please consult a doctor to identify the cause and then treat it, rather than blindly treating it on your own to avoid delaying your condition.
