So back from the dentist and he says everything's ok can't see anything wrong he says it probably coming from my gums because I have gum disease
 
Hi
Yes gum disease can cause that bad taste and whilst corsodyl is a great mouthwash for gum disease it isn't a cure in itself.
The fact that the taste has recurred suggests that there is a recurrent infection which requires attention so you should get a careful course of scaling and rootplaning to correct the gum disease.
best of luck
