For 3 weeks or so, I havent been able to taste anything right. Food nor drinks. Almost 2 months ago I had my thyroid taken out. I havent changed anything else. I quit smoking this last Friday. But I dont think that has to do with not being able to taste things since its recent. Could it be due to not having a thyroid? Because the doctors told me it wont alter my tastes. Or could it something else? Thank you.

Nothing else is wrong, just my taste buds

A few years ago, whenever I ate certain foods, they didn't taste quite right. Then one day one side of my mouth didn't move when I smiled, and my left eye wouldn't close all the way. I remembered that for a couple of weeks, whenever I washed my hair in the shower, I got shampoo in my left eye. The next morning I went to the doctor and she told me I had Bell's Palsy. I mentioned the food not tasting quite right and the doctor said that was a symptom of Bell's Palsy. Does your face work symetrically? Are you getting soap in one of your eyes? I also could not whistle. Try to whistle. If you can't, it's probably Bell's Palsy. I was treated with steriods and was fine within a week.

In my opinion, sounds like both the surgery you had and the smoking thing,QUITTING CHANGES YOU TASTE BUDS< FOR REAL!! good luck in your ventures. If you have any further concern, call to make an apt. with your doctor.

sinus issues. If you can't smell, you can't taste very much if at all.
