Can anyone give me any information on not being able to taste ?  Longevity, causes, things to try to correct the condition !  Boy, it is not very enjoyable eating if you can't taste anything !!!  Thanks

    Chemo

    Are you on chemo?  If so, that’s the culprit.  It affects just about everything, smell, taste etc... It should get better a few days after chemo.   You may want to rinse your mouth with baking soda to prevent mouth sores too.

    Treatment

    If you are in treatment that is a possibility as Woodytele said.  Surgery is also a culprit.  My husband and myself experienced this after surgery for different things and both of us loss sense of taste and smells.  What have you gone through lately?
