Everything smells and tastes burnt after stomach flu

You all might want to get your teeth checked out. Sometimes, this condition is caused by bacteria or rotting teeth.. Sometimes it comes from stomach issues. I would get those things checked out. It is most likely the cause of your problem.

i too have jus got over a flu and anything i eat taste like burnt plastic, i am able to eat peaches and drink gatorade, i see where someonje says it is meat which is true but i am able to eat a Banquet frozen meal just fine without the burnt plastic smell, i seen somewhere on the internet it could be post drainage from a sinus infection which i believe i had on top of the flue i have no clue what it is but i love food and it is driving me crazyyyyyyyyyy

I believe the new viruses are causing sensory nerve damage. Eat a balanced diet low in saturated fats and get lots of regular sleep and remember that nerve damage takes the longest to heal.

On one hand I am sorry for you all, on the other I am glad I am not the only one! i had the stomach bug a few months ago and after that, most everything either smells bad, different, or i cant smell it at all anymore. Coffee smells burnt, tuna ( which i used to love) makes me plug my nose, peanut butter is the same way. Right after getting better, everything smelled bad. Now, a few months later, i barely smell anything. It would be easier to deal with if i just knew what it was. 

U got me scared now cause for the past 12 days ive been sick with what i assume is the flu but not sure. I wasn't able to eat for like 8 days straight but ive been trying to eat food now and everything sucks bigtime! I hope you get better and i hope my dilemma dosent last nine months.

Ugh this just had to happen to me. I get the flu and at first everything tastes normal. Then as I get worse and worse I start to develop this taste and smell like slightly rancid tomato sauce. I'm trying to get away from it, but I can't! No matter what I eat it always just has that rancid taste and smell! Help would be appreciated. It's driving me crazy!

Actually you are quite correct, I am on anti-biotics now for two infected teeth.

I was beginning to think I had suffered some bad side effect from the Tamiflu - but this wasn't one of the side effect symptoms...so, I was very relieved to see so many people having the same issues I am...it is very annoying - the first bite or two is okay then goes downhill quickly to bland and blah...and just tasteless...and I can't smell much either. Its making me slightly nauseous...and I am just ready to get this over with...I have been off the Tamiflu for about a week today...but still am not enjoying my food - at all. :((((

Does any one actually have a cause or solution to this issue? I think we can safely say it is a real problem

For about 5 months foods taste odd, peanuts taste sort of burnt, French fries taste really greasy, bread taste odd, orange juice, bananas  , strawberries also. Shampoo and toothpaste smell too sweet.When I go into a restaurant it smells really greasy.Some chemicals like paint thinner smell totally different. I went to ent, got ct scan nothing showed up.I has a bad cold 9 months ago. Would the taste disorder show up a couple months after I had the cold?
