Hi
Have you had any improvement since your last year's post. I am going on three years where my taste comes and goes...not totally but definitely where I don't want to eat anything for lack of taste. I have tried everything, seen numerous specialist, acupuncture, MRIs, Scans, etc., etc., I can smell perfectly as well!!

Are you saying that an oral zinc supplement causes your loss of taste? It's well known that zinc in a nasal spray can cause loss of sense of smell, but I've never heard of zinc as a supplement reducing the sense of taste; in fact, they give zinc supplements because some people supposedly have lost their sense of taste because of a lack of zinc, although I don't see how that can be the case it in the cases of sudden loss. On the other hand many decades ago when I lost my sense of taste, along with other side effects of an adverse drug reaction, I had been taking about 60 mg of zinc a day as a supplement, but after that dramatic loss from one meal to the next, taking zinc or not made no difference one way or the other.

I was in the same boat. about a year ago I lost my sweet taste. Lasted for 2 to 3 months, it did come back. but it has done it again about a month ago. This time it comes and goes. Wish someone could tell me what is causes it.

I don't know if this is any relationship to these problems losing sweet taste, unless one would use toothpaste numerous times a day, but from the Mercola website:
"Many toothpastes contain surfactants like sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate (SLS), or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES). Surfactants are chemicals responsible for the foaming action of the toothpaste, but they also interfere with the functioning of your taste buds by breaking up the phospholipids on your tongue.
This enhances bitter tastes and is thought to be the reason why everything tastes so bad right after you've brushed your teeth."

Posting a recovery experience. Whenever we dig the internet for problems, we find so many posting the same, but very few come back and post if they recovered, so thought of sharing my experience. I used to use Listerine mouthwash ever since I remember, and never had any issues. But this time, I picked up crest prohealth mouthwash and used it for about a week. In the mornings, I used to notice some white slimy deposit between my gums and cheek. Turns out this is actually dead cells or skin caused by these 0 alcohol mouthwash like crest. 7 days of use, and first time i realized was when a milk chocolate bar tasted like mud. I panicked and scourged the internet for all answers not knowing if I will ever get my sense of taste. I could only taste some salt, only at the back of my tongue, the tip, sides and middle of my tongue could not taste anything. I completely stopped using the mouthwash and (I am not sure if this helped), but started having small amount of coconut milk - unsweetened (the one we get in Target So Delicious). After 3 days, first, the taste of salt started to come back - on the sides of my tongue. Everything tasted so salty, perhaps it was all fresh new taste buds. Then after 3 more days, middle of the tongue, then finally front and tip could taste sweet again. So if your loss of taste was caused by crest, most likely when you stop using it, you should get it back in a week to 10 days. Oh by the way, I did return it back to Target and got my 16$ back :-). Good luck.

NO. No, you don't wish you would lose your sense of taste or smell. You'd either snack more, trying to find something, anything, that had flavor; or you'd not want to eat at all, not even enough for proper nutrition. I lost most of my taste/smell after a mild case of type B flu a few weeks ago. It's coming back, slowly, with smell training, steroid nasal spray, and OTC supplements that are supposed to help the olfactory neurons regenerate. Trust me, you do not want post-viral hyposmia.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I lost my sense of taste 44 years ago from one meal to the next, along with some other neurological changes, from an adverse prescription drug reaction. I have more sensation for bitter and sour, although they're not the same as before, and I can tell something is sweet or salty by a mild syrupy sensation for sweet or and acidic sensation for salt, but it's like black-and-white compared to color, and I have learned to allow the aroma of what I'm eating or drinking to infuse my nasal passages so I get smell which, is 60% of what is actually perceived as taste. Fortunately, I did not lose my sense of smell, which is quite acute. I think losing the sense of smell would be worse than taste, as, aside from giving food it's character, smell effects one all the time, it's associated with memories an emotion and it also warns you of danger--smoke or toxic's substances, for example. Actor Bill Pullman lost his sense of smell completely when he recovered from a coma of several days after falling while rehearsing a play when he was 21.

I only used Crest Clinical Mouthwash alcohol-free for the first time yesterday and now I literally cannot taste anything at all! I can’t believe that stuff doesn’t come with warning labels—I’d half convinced myself I had a brain tumor before I found this page.

Any update?
Going on 2 years now for myself but it's strictly when eating cold food, usually ice cream. I can taste the first couple of bites and then nothing. Nothing else unusual.

This happened to me 5 years ago, no sweet taste at all. It turned out to be the anti- fungal drug I was taking for a nail infection. Once I stopped the medication it took about 3 months for my taste to be completely normal again.
