Lost Taste
September 20th, 2009 8:53 pm
Something weird happened this weekend. It has happened once before a few weeks back. I have lost my sense of taste. All weekend long now I have been having cravings for food, but when I eat, it doesn’t taste like nothing.
It’s kinda scary actually. Today is the worse of the last two days. My sense of smell seems to be ok, but the minute I put it in my mouth, it taste’s like nothing. There are small bits of taste here and there, but overall, nothing.
Kinda sucks to be hungry and then eat only to be disappointed. Satifying hunger is not just about the physical eating of protiens and vegetables, its about the taste and smell.
Any ideas?

Hey Scott,
It looks like it could be a few things. If it’s not a loss of smell which it is in 80% of people who lose their sense of taste then they say it could be a few things:
- Ear infection
- Poor dentil hygiene
- Lack of proper vitamins and minerals

Hope it clears up soon.

My Husband passed away 4 1/2 years ago..I cried, more than the normal person, I lost my taste and at one time I read it could be due the salty tears for an extended lengh of time..I still cannot taste. Do you think this could be the reason for this?
Thanks You,

No answer on the salty tears and loss of taste? I was hoping for a solution..still no taste for Christmas.
