Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,019 | I think most of my taste came back within a year (unfortunately my swallowing ability did not--still working on that). I still have some very easily irritated spots in my mouth, though, and can't tolerate stuff that's acidic or spicy. But it's not because I don't like the taste, it's just I get a burning sensation very easily with lots of stuff.
