Loss of taste but not covid

Hello

Important Disclaimer: I am not looking for medical advice to follow but others' experiences and history.

I had for three days, fever, headache, extreme watery diarrhea and loss of taste. No vomiting.

I thought it was covid but several tests were negative. It seems it was food poisoning.

However I cannot explain the loss of taste.

Have you experienced that before?

I read on Wikipedia that norovirus can cause loss of taste but I have not been able to find a good reference for it.

I read that metallic taste can appear after food poisoning but I am not sure if it is due to vomiting.

Thanks!

Lateral flow or PCR tests?
