Everything tastes different.

A week or so ago, I was really sick. Fever and everything. It lasted like.. 4-5 days. Ever since then, ALL OF MY FAVORITE FOODS TASTE DIFFERENT! FML.

It'd riciculous. I'm a very picky eater, so my choice of foods are already limited. Now, all my nice foods taste really, really nasty or weird. I'm so pissed.

Has that ever happened to you guys? Or tell me anything that's happened while you were sick.

<3 Bite me.

YES! shit was so crazy. Shortly after I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and changed my diet accordingly, food tasted SO much better.

It could be a sinus problem, stuff lingering after the illness. Smell and taste are neurologically linked, so give it some time and your taste may return to normal.

As for me, I've never had this happen. I have found that I enjoy foods that caused me to vomit when I was a child, though.

Happens to me all the time~

Fortunately I'm not very picky about food so I just eat without giving much thought about taste.

I usually go on a fluid diet when I'm sick, last time (3 months back) I was on juice only for 3-4 days...

I've had the same thing happen to me during the periods I was sick, however after I recovered the previous taste always seemed to return.

This^

Yes, maybe your sinus just need more time to clear!
:3

it happens to me whenever i catch a cold, and it sucks. After the cold passes everything i eat tends to taste like cardboard and paper, it makes me not even want to eat.

This. Pretty good chance that is what is happening; if sweet, sour, salty and bitter still taste normal to you then it is likely a problem related to your nose more than your taste buds.

My immune system laughs at the concept of "sick."

Does that mean that you're constantly sick anyway, or that you've never been sick?

What happend last time I was sick was that my heart took a beating and I had to spend a month doing nothing except for resting and taking walks to recover. Was a shit boring month.

He's a man. Of course, it means the latter.

Ah. I know that feeling. Did you have a preexisting condition that made your heart react so badly?

"My immune system is equipped with the biological equivalent of fully automatic, military assault rifles with night vision and laser scopes. And we have recently acquired phosphorous grenades, cluster bombs, and anti-personal fragmentation mines."

Yup. Told you so, Ethil.

It's just like when you hold you nose, you can't taste what you're eating. It's because smell effects taste, you can't smell properly / have bacteria in your nose so things are going to taste different.

Something really weird is whenever I get sick, my freckles become darker. It weirds me out.

I AM PRETTY SICK ALSO I HAVE NOTICED THING TASTING DIFFERENTLY ALSO

I WAS EATING OUT A PUSSY AND I REALIZED THAT IT TASTED A SHITLOAD MORE SHITTY THAN ITS USUAL SHIT FLAVOR

Tell the girl to stop whipping from back to front.
