Food Taste Different In WD?

[[gr...]]

Why do things taste different,  Things just taste terrible to me and its already hard to eat. Anyone else experience this?

If its sweet, then i like it, it taste good. Everything else is so bland.

I couldn't stand most meat for months. Even the smell of it made me want to puke. I ate mostly salads, cheese, eggs, nuts, dairy and fruit juice. I got my regular appetite and taste buds after about 3 months off. My sense of smell was really jacked up too. I could smell things a block away. I could smell people smoking dope from inside our house from people that live a street over.  Could smell one clove of garlic in the kitchen from our bedroom. Very weird.

My smeller is soooo extreme and I have a metallic taste in my mouth that makes me nauseas and zero appetite. Bleh. My husband fried chicken in the house and I almost puked from the smell!  I can't eat certain foods bc of smell and texture. I gag. It's weird.

Yes G...i just keep cutting. Doesnt matter i feel like shit always so why prolong it.

 

I had chicken curry tonight, i gagged it down with a soda. Like i said if its sweet, i can eat it?

 

Im always hungry, its like right after i eat im feeling hungry again. Im surprised i havent lost more weight then i have.

I have the same problem. Food taste horrible, loss of appetite, and I crave sweet stuff. Also have metallic taste in mouth off and on. The smell of some foods make me feel like I want to throw up. Just another one of the many side effects of these lovely drugs.

If i didnt have a soda next to me i dont think i could have are at all. I absolutely LOVE eating grapes because of the sweetness.

 

Im starving right now!!!

I am actually having an MRI and sinus scan on Tuesday due to smell loss (and taste loss which is usually a result of smell loss).

 

Mine started way back in March/April after inadvertent CT off Ambien....have attributed it to also adding beta blocker but I really think it is benzo w/d. Docs not so sure to on to this step, probably going to just get another "all clear" report when it's the benzos at fault.

 

I have about 80% smell loss, can smell chlorine, vinegar etc but most things are zero OR an awful chemical/metallic smell and taste. So it's a loss plus distortion. Talk about freaky, I can eat pizza, and I remember what pizza tastes like but there is simply nothing. It is upsetting.

 

I just jumped so hoping it will be coming back soon....

I was supposed to get an MRI a while back, but im just too lethargic to schedule it. Im so sick of throwing money away on testing.

Yes Groove, me too, SO MUCH MONEY! But my insurance is excellent and this has been another year when I am moving into "Free" for things because we've spent so much already.

 

My ENT, allergist etc all think I am crazy because I have been so CALM about loss/distortion of smell. But really, after all I've been through, I could live like this. There isn't much that could be done anyway. I really just hate anything medical and I don't trust any of them. But of course, it will be good to get some answers although I feel I know the tests will be "fine"

I think its always a good thing to do...go make sure!!! I hope everything comes back normal for u and it just goes away after wd is over.

A couple weeks ago right after a cut my right jaw swelled up. I looked like a chipmunk storing nuts on one side! It was horrifically painful! I couldn't open my mouth or chew at all! I knew it was muscular and wd related. I just am so used to crazy syx that come and go that I don't even think it's anything but wd any more. My husband disagreed and wanted to take me to the ER for an MRI bc I was bawling in pain for 3 days! I refused bc I have been down that road so many times only to feel like a crazy person or drug seeker and they can't do anything any way! I mean what....give me a benzo? Eff no!! So I put heat, ice and messaged it and by day 4 it started to go away. My stubbornness saved us $1,000!!! Ugh.

Exactly G. Im so tired of losing money over this crap. I think we will be able to better diagnose things when we are healed from this shit, until then it just insanity.
