Guest guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ok for some time now - about 2 years I have been " losing " taste in foods intermittently. It is finally to the point where I taste food now maybe 3 days a month and the rest of the time all foods are just very dampered and bland, even chocolate, gourmet cheeses, old trusted favorites. That was a gradual process and daily I don't know if food will " taste " or not. Most days it is a " not " . Well in the last 2 weeks I have notices that tasteless has now been replaced with distaste. Besides fresh fruits and vegetables just about everything I taste, is awful. It tastes and smells like it has chemicals or something. There is a new aftertaste and bitterness. It's not everything, but a lot of things. Last nights seasoned french fries (frozen) and honey chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese (I can not even eat kraft mac n cheese anymore) pudding, it all just tastes so NASTY. Lunchmeat, bread...though cheese still tastes ok (just bland) for drinks I only drink bottled water or triple filtered tap water and decaf iced tea made from filtered water. I have heard your tastebuds change every 7 years, so it could be possibly since I just turned 36, though it would be a year behind. I was just wondering if anyone else is having any tasting issues! Or also if anyone has any insight as to what this may be implying? namaste april Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hi April, This happens to my Mom...it is that point when this starts I have her blood tested. Mom has acute enemia....when her numbers get low..sure enough the taster is way off. Her favorites she cant eat also another symptom she has is the consistency all of a sudden. Mom loves ham.but she cant stand it when her enemia acts up...even the consistency of the ham doesnt feel good in her mouth. She cant take iron from the Drs so we are now doing something called FerroFood. It can only be gotten from medical professionals...not a prescription but because too much iron can kill...the Drs dole it out...unless you are Amazon.com Somehoe they too are now selling it. Do not pay any more than 25.00 a bottle of 15 I hope this helps...are you a little enemic at times?Blessings, Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 April, Yes, you could have some anemia going on. A few other things to consider. If you have any dental fillings, they could be deteriorating and contributing. Not only does can if affect taste, it can have serious health implications. A yeast infection in your mouth or somewhere else can do this. It can be a tiny one. Dental decay from an unknown abscess and cavity can do this. Antibiotics and medications can affect taste. I would start with a dental cleaning and voice your concerns to the hygenist and your dentist. Love, Light, & Blessings! Namaste' & Peace!
