Answer 1

hey my sister has allergies it sucks.....but i need to tell u this do u smoke? coz smoke kills taste cells on ur tongue

other than that yes one of the symptom's of having allergies is that it makes u taste food with a different taste or without a taste....go see a doctor and in my opinion the best to things to do about allergies is 1.to take the herbal medicines not only cortisone and chemicals
2.try 2 atleast exercise 5-10 min a day to help ur lungs and breathin system.

i hope u get better and good luck!!

Answer 2

I would check with your doctor.
The nose does play a role in taste, like when your nose is stuffed, you can't taste anything or everything tastes like straw also some medications and smoking can change the taste of things.

Answer 3

Caffeine and nicotine interfere with taste .
The allergies could also , are you taking meds for that ?
Medicine net discussed allergies but I didn't see if they also went into additional side effects but you can check
