Daffodil Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yes me too, and also my taste buds changed a lot, I now like tomatoes so there's a positive side! It's lessened now and happens rarely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryB Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I recall only that I loved mac and cheese and bland food for like a good year. Still am in love with mac and cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Mario Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I was left with my sense of taste impaired. Just about all foods and tea tasted foul. I had to drink coffee and lived on smoked fish with salad and creamed mushrooms on toast for months. Gradually my sense of taste returned to normal.

DawnS Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I had taste distortions for many months where what I was eating (even if it was sweet food) would suddenly taste like either salt or fish yuk! In general, nothing tasted like I remembered it tasting for a very long time. Either everything is back to normal now or I have become used to the changes. If I am overdoing things, I will get a metallic taste in my mouth that doesn't go away until I go to bed. And my likes and dislikes have changed massively, it's weird!

rabbit Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hi I also experienced taste changes after my SAH. I really want sweet food, now, and savoury food tends to taste yuk. I also seem to like well-seasoned food, no more bland purees for me. I also want to eat food that's bad for me now; I seem to feel that if I could have an SAH when I was taking care of myself, why bother now? although I know that this doesn't make sense. One thing that has helped is changing my toothpaste to a one for dry mouth - ask the chemist. they should know. I am also really sensitive to some foods and over-eating tends to nausea, very annoying. I am much clumsier that I used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I have found I have very limited tolerance of alcohol after my SAH. I can't tolerate red wine at all but I can drink the odd glass of white wine. I find this works better if I match sip for sip with water, and drink at least as much water as white wine. But I am still wobbly when I stand up, although not drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teechur Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I had BAD sweets cravings. One of the things I ate almost every day for the first few months was Peeps. I don't know why. I do know that one of the headache medications I was put on (Topamax) made everything taste horrible, especially soda (you can't taste the carbonation but you can feel it--really strange). The worst part is that it made coffee taste bad and my blood is half coffee. It was horrible (although I did lose 7 pounds while I was on it because I didn't want to eat). (Un)fortunately my next medication made me regain all of that within a week, plus 4 more pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liz2 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hi Rabbit and others I too now feel very clumsy especially when I'm out. I feel I'm fumbling about like an old women and I have to hold on to all the rails when I'm on a bus or train and am just a lot slower than I was. I know it's still early days (3 moths) but I feel I should be pushing myself so I can get back to normal. Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hi Liz, dont worry about holding on & stuff I still do it, it just takes time to heal, It'll happen.... take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 My taste buds have completely changed since the SAH I now eat things that I never would have considered before. In the first few months I also had the metallic taste it improved over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilP Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 For a little while I had yohgurt tasting like butter and all crisps had lost their crunch! Had to keep getting people to try them. Tolerance to alcohol is still much much lower, but quite enjoyable. I've turned into a cheap date! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
