This last week I have noticed that foods are tasting different or have to taste at all. I am six months out of treatment and over the course of the last six months all my taste buds have returned with the exception of sweet (Not a problem - keeps the weight off). However, bread has just now taken on a bitter taste where as a week ago, it tasted "normal"; and unless I use alot of salt on other items, they have no taste - these are items that just a week previous I could taste. Has anyone else experienced this? I guess I wonder if these ole taste buds are just a moving target for awhile. It is definitely not a big deal, just wondering?
