I have lost my sense of taste, I can still taste if very salty or very spicey but everyday flavours have gone, can't taste tea or coffee and just good plain home cooking. non smoker and non drinker any ideas ?
 
Are you on any medication? Are you drinking juices such as grapefruit or pineapple juice?

Have you changed your toothpaste?

Are you having any sinus problems as of late? Maybe a deviated septum?

Not on any medication at the moment was on oxytetracycline 250 mg 4 daily for some time, no juices, no change of toothpaste. Have always suffered with sinus but not for a while have they been bad
Thankyou
 
Zinc deficiency can cause loss of taste, and it is hard to diagnose...... might be worth buying a bottle of Centrum and some Zinc tablets at the pharmacy, and giving them a try for a while.

Caveat: Make sure your doctor knows any supplements you are taking!
