Our next door neighbor makes French pastries and desserts and she shares with us. They are incredibly good. On the other hand after loving
Shrimp my whole life, they no longer taste good to me, even fried shrimp. I am not eating less, as I should, I just don't enjoy things as much.
Hearing goes,sight goes, sense of smell goes, why not taste too?

For those of you who say you can't taste food as you once could, I had the same problem and this is what I learned. It's not that you've lost your sense of taste, it's that you've lost your sense of smell. Per the doctor, if you can't smell something, you won't be able to taste it. In my case, I was diagnosed as having an allergy, and began taking Nasacort 24 Hr Allergy med, which is an over the counter drug and also a prescription med called Azelastine HCI Nasal Solution. Also, if you find your skin and scalp is itchy, you can pick up a over the counter bottle of generic, non-drowsy 24 hour allergy relief containing Fexifenadine Hydrochloride..I buy mine at Walmart. Use to suffer from this loss of smell/taste for the last four years and since taking these meds, I no longer have the problem.
