Hi Sohelia! Thank you for ringing me up the other day. It's been much too long

since we last talked. To get to your question re: Tastes! I have not noticed

any changes in preferences. I always felt that tastes were acquired and when

one has not had a certain food like fruit, it might be that you have just lost

the sensitivity in your taste buds. I have not heard of this before. But you

raise a good question. I would like to see if others out there have the same

symptom. You couldn't tell by me because as you know, I eat everything and

anything that is in front of me, I may try the broth that is on after

Thanksgiving. It wouldn't hurt to lose a few lbs. I have never been on a diet

in my life nor have I ever fasted. I've never been super fat nor super skinny.

My weight has not fluctuated since 2005 when I initially got so sick and lost

the 40lbs. Forced fed myself with those protein shakes till I gained 20 lbs

back and

have stayed the same since. Taking Minocin was a big help in getting me

stabilized at that time. It was wonderful talking with you again. I promise now

that I am sort of settled down again, that I will keep in contact with you and

the group of friends. Best to you, Dolores & Mike

For me at least I can say I've noticed no change in diet preferences.

showed up I noticed that I don't like to take fruits as I used

to. Fruits were inseparable part of my diet before I got sick. I've

never had a sweet teeth but I liked all fruits.

taste.taking a banana is just a pain. I am wondering if any of you

have noticed change in your taste for a certain food?
