How to reset my tastebuds

4 replies

Because everything tastes like burnt meat since I had covid in September.

Chocolate is the worst tho - it's totally disgusting! And I keep forgetting and having the odd piece - just 🤮

Any tips on what I should do? Even toothpaste and mouthwash tastes horrid.

It really sucks....

I haven't been able to drink coffee since august. I fucking love coffee. I have an almost permanent smell of burnt toast / smoke too. It's crap.

If you search online there are ways of returning your tastebuds/sense of smell?

It's so weird isn't it! Tonight my dinner tasted like melted plastic.

Chucked the whole lot and had cheese on toast. Which also tasted like plastic but at least not burning plastic.

I tried the burnt orange trick at Xmas. This has definitely made things worse. Before I couldn't taste; now everything is burnt
