For those of you who say you can't taste food as you once could, I had the same problem and this is what I learned. It's not that you've lost your sense of taste, it's that you've lost your sense of smell. Per the doctor, if you can't smell something, you won't be able to taste it. In my case, I was diagnosed as having an allergy, and began taking Nasacort 24 Hr Allergy med, which is an over the counter drug and also a prescription med called Azelastine HCI Nasal Solution. Also, if you find your skin and scalp is itchy, you can pick up a over the counter bottle of generic, non-drowsy 24 hour allergy relief containing Fexifenadine Hydrochloride..I buy mine at Walmart. Use to suffer from this loss of smell/taste for the last four years and since taking these meds, I no longer have the problem.

I have had severe allergies since childhood and I take allergy meds morning and night. The lost of sense of smell and some taste is fairly new. The allergy meds have not changed things glad it has for you.

I have the same tastes I did in my 20’s-I’m past 60 now-and my sense of smell has always been very acute. I have always lived a drug-free lifestyle-I don’t do illicit or prescription drugs, and haven’t taken even an OTC aspirin or ibuprofen in several years. I have no idea if that is why nothing has changed, but I suspect that it may be...

I do use a homeopathic allergy remedy made from local pollen sometimes in the early Spring.
