Have any of you had spells of losing taste even after your taste seemed to come back?? I was tasting food quite well a couple weeks ago, but this week my mouth has been more sore then usual and my taste is just not as good. I attributed the soreness to me being adventurous and trying lots of new foods, but that wouldn't explain the loss of taste. Any suggestions? I've also noticed that there seems to be a milky kind of coating on my gums when I get up in the morning and if I don't eat for an extended amount of time. It scared the you know what out of me until I brushed it off with my tooth brush. Thanks for any help with this.
