Happy Anniversary, Sharon! Oh, I remember everything tasting bad from Flagyl-induced thrush. You probably know the answer to that already, I just figured I'd throw it out there. How is your tongue looking lately?
P.S. How cruel, making cake taste bad

I'd blame the baker and the coffee maker!

Food has not tasted as good to me as it did before my surgeries. Nothing sounds good BUT desserts especially ice cream.

It could be completely unrelated to anything you have experienced health wise. My Mom lost her sense of taste. She didn't have any health problems. The only way to rule out your antihistamines is to stop taking them and see if your taste returns.

I would tend to think it was the allergies, not the antihistamines at work. Taste is largely affected by smell.

That's the funny thing...my sense of smell is great (especially when my nose is not clogged! thank you antiystamines)
I can smell the coffee and chocolate...just not taste them! (double frustration).
No dots, spots, white gunk or discolouration, just a thick feeling like an invisible layer of over thick mucus (I know, yuck)...I am not on pain meds or antibiotics. Just the antihystamines & anti-inflamatories (does it seem as you get older, everything that you take is an anti-something-or another???)
I tend to enjoy ice cream and cold soft drinks because the cold feels good on my tongue...
Had a nice steak (we never eat steak...it was a real treat!) and I could have been eating old shoes...Darn. One other pleasure gone to pot!
