Does anyone ever have a few days or a couple weeks when their taste buds seem to become lazy and you just can't taste things very clearly? The sense of smell is okay, but things taste blah...?

thanks

You nailed it...it isn't that things taste necessarily terrible...but they don't taste right. Like they are off or something. I know when this happens I start throwing food away because I think they've gone bad (like yogurt, cream, meat) and finally I realize that it all can't be bad.

But I don't know what causes it. I've noticed I also get a reduced sense of salt at the same time and will really be emptying the salt shaker into my food.

If you figure this out, please post here..

thanks

Me, too. I've been wondering about that. It seems that some things just have no taste until I add a lot of salt and pepper. I don't remember ever using this much before.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT THE SALT. THERE ARE TIMES I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH SALT ON THINGS. GOOD THING I HAVE LOW BLOOD PRESSURE AND DO NOT HAVE TO LIMIT MY SALT INTAKE. HUSBANDS SAYS I WOULD SALT THE SALT IF I COULD. I DID THROW OUT ALL MY SALT A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND BOUGHT NEW SALT. THOUGHT THE SALT HAD SOMEHOW GONE BAD SINCE IT WAS NOT SALTY ENOUGH FOR ME. KIND OF CRAZY WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT. I GUESS THIS CAN EFFECT ALL OF US ALITTLE DIFFERENT THAN IT DOES SOMEONE ELSE.

Prior to going gluten-free my sense of taste and smell would be either too sensitive or non-existant. Now both seem to work the way they are supposed to.

Hey! Maybe this is why I love chili peppers so much!

I just threw out my jar of sea-salt because I also thought it had lost all of its saltiness. (lol) Is this weird or what? Hmmmm, at least I don't feel too crazy because I know I'm not alone.

I'll keep my ears open on other boards to see if anyone has figured this one out!

I don't go to other celiac sites (none are better than this one). But for another disorder, I visit the boards at Braintalk communities dealing with neurological problems. i'll keep my eyes open on these boards for anything pointing to loss of taste or change in taste sensations.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
