Also my wife wanted me to ask if you could taste sweets. She can eat sweets but they don’t taste as sweet as they do for others. But she can taste it. Hot foods she used to like now totally burn her mouth.

This is strange. I don’t think I had Covid, but I can’t taste sweets. I have to load it in my coffee because I can’t taste it otherwise. It’s rather baffling. I began to wonder if they are somehow diluting sugar.

I gotta relate a short story. When I was in the hospital, I craved Milky Way bars but of course couldn't get anything thru the hospital. A co-worker paid me a visit and smuggled in a bag of them! But when I had one, it tasted terrible. It still doesn't taste good!

That said, it's all a matter of trial and error. Have her try sherbet ice cream, low fat. Chocolate ice cream tastes terrible, but sherbet seems to do the trick. I got hooked on it while in the hospital cuz it was the only thing they offered.
