Anosmia - Loss Of Sense Of Smell?

[Leakygut]

Has anyone lost their sense of smell with Celiacs and then had it return on the gluten-free diet?

I have!! Been gluten free for 5 months now and in the last couple months my sense of smell and taste has come back. I'm so excited, food smells sooo good now. and tastes even better.

I had a loss of taste, started taking zinc and it corrected it.

My son lost his sense of smell at age 7.

Gluten free at 16.

Sense of smell is returning.

Vitamin deficieny symptom??

yes! me too - i noticed the other day. it's like "what's that smell" because it's been a very long time that i have been able to smell anything unless it's absolutely overwhelmingly smelly haha - this is at month 18 being gluten-free! so, i guess my doc was right (and i have heard it said many times on here) it took a long time to do the damage, it will take a while to heal. i really am amazed! a few weeks ago i climbed out the window on the second floor onto the porch roof and worked on our house (scraping/painting the exterior) before i was gluten-free i had such vertigo and balance issues (anxiety!) that i never would have had the nerve to go out there yay for healing!!!!!
