Carbonation now tastes like static and pennies

Eleven weeks on reta. Appetite down, food noise quieter, all expected. The odd one: carbonation tastes like static and old pennies. I used to have two cans of fizzy water after dinner; now one sip and my mouth closes the tab. No nausea, no reflux—just a corrupted flavor file. In my side-effect log it's the only entry that isn't appetite-adjacent. Mildly annoying, mildly useful, since my 9pm soda habit was mostly ritual. Did your taste change in one narrow category like this, or was it broader?
