Hi, I just need some advice to see if anyone has experienced anything similar.
mom about 15 weeks pregnant and at about week 6 my sense of taste and smell changed, food tastes disgusting and smells disgusting. Over the weeks it’s gotten worse and now the only food I can eat which tastes normal is Kellogg’s cornflakes and tomato soup, everything else I put in my mouth tastes disgusting. I can remember how food used to taste and smell but when I smell it or put it in my mouth it doesn’t taste like that anymore it tastes so disgusting I can’t swallow it.
as a result I’ve lost quite allot of weight and I’m starting to worry I’m stuck like this forever.

You won't be stuck like this forever don't worry. It took me a while to get my appetite back. Everything tasted like cardboard and bitter. As I got to the end of my 2nd trimester foods started tasting good again.

Thank you so much for replying, see it’s not my appetite I’m absolutely starving all I can think of is food i want to eat and I remember how good food tastes but when I try to eat it the food tastes like the most disgusting taste you can think of like rotten meat, all foods smell and taste the same like foul I tried to take a bite of one chip yest to see if it had gotten any better and it didnt taste like a chip at all it tasted so vile it made me throw up.
