Around Thanksgiving, food and certain beverages started smelling disgusting. I guess garbage is the best way to describe, even though it doesn't smell like garbage, just indescribable honestly. Coffee, peanut butter, breads, boiled rice, pasta to name a few smell and taste awful.

Coffee smells bad, but I can drink it. Recently started buying Cold Brew in a bottle at the grocery store. Works well because you don't have to smell it brew! Meat, peanut butter, popcorn...smell awful.

Let me tell you how it happened. I got sick with covid, then after 2 days I lost my smell for 3 days but I still had my taste. When I got my smell back, everything was normal. It was normal until I ate something. When I ate something, it tasted like trash and throw up. I wish there was a way to describe it better but I can’t.

After a month, I noticed there are times where I can eat/ drink things with caution. It's very expensive, over$500/month. With my insurance, it's still $128/month. Hoping you are cured now.

My ENT surgeon advised a short course of prednisolone 25 my twice daily for 1 week then 25 my daily for 1 week then 12.5 my for 1 week. Has anyone had any success with this regime? I seem to be able to tolerate foods without smell to some degree. Are there any suggestions apart from the foods mentioned already?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037306239871111272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193469295022598914.post-62828224230023979172017-02-07T23:24:48.124+00:002017-02-07T23:24:48.124+00:00I have been using the sinus rinse formula Alkolol....I have been using the sinus rinse formula Alkolol.
