For about six months I cannot taste my food . It went out in a hurry and has not returned. I can't even taste peanut butter. Anyone have any ideas. Most times I don't even feel like eating. Any help would be appreciated

Have you seen your doctor?

How is your sense of smell? Taste is largely smell, as the mouth can only discern 6 tastes.

Hi Jerry
I have personally never had this. I have the same question as myself09. Did you see your Dr.? I gave you a subject so more members can respond. Welcome!!

Hope to hear more from you soon.

Hi Dutch!

     No, I've never had an occurance where I couldn't taste food.  Although, I think if I couldn't, it might help drop a few pounds but, I would rather have the added weight than not be able to taste.

     Hopefully, your Dr. may be able to give you some insight.

Best of Luck to you.

Hi Dutch: I know a lady (former neighbor of my MIL) who fell in her garage and hit her head some years back. Since then, she has no sense of taste! Is there any chance you may have done something like that? Do you recall anything like a sports injury, or maybe a car accident where you could have hit your head against something?

Otherwise, the only thing that comes to mind is that I can lose my sense of taste if my sinuses are really acting up or I have a bad cold, though it probably only lasts a week or so. Are you feeling well otherwise?

I hope your doctor can figure it out and I wish you the very best! Keep us posted cuz we care.

Thanks to all the replies but I still have the problem. I mentionsd this to doctor and he said to take multivitamin with zinc. I am also trying something called Sinuswars 30 but to this point hasn't helped. I feel well otherwise and am active. By the way I am 95yrs old but don't feel like it. I agree it keeps my weight under control but I still would like my taste back. Again thanks to all of you

I have had this issue myself, off & on.. I too was going to suggest zinc: I started taking a multivitamin that contains zinc - do not KNOW that the vitamins are what helped - fibro is so odd with crazy symptoms coming & going - but my sense of taste HAS improved.
