Sence Of Taste?

I have been gluten-free for almost a year now. Not doing bad with it other than the darn rash on my back side. The steroid cream seems to keep that in check. Now a new one cropped up and I wounder if it is from celiac or something else I have been blessed with. I seem to have lost my sence of taste. I have taste but it is vile. My own seliva makes me sick. I can load up what ever I eat with hot peppers spices or whatever and it makes my eyes water and nose run but leaves me with a taste I can't keep down. It is so hard to explain this problem so if anyone has this or has had this you know what I am talking about. Has this happened because of the celiac or is it unrelated?

Jess,

Not to alarm you, but one of the things that can cause a loss of smell and taste senses is brain tumors.

Also, besides the steriods for the butt rash, are you on any new medications?

Have you sought medical attention for this problem?

I lost my sense of taste for about three months after a bout with bronchitis. I agree, you definitely need to see the doctor. Whatever it is can become permanent if you don't get it treated.

have you looked into candida? I know it can cause rashes and is very common among celiacs.

My sense of taste (and smell) is always affected when I get a cold or a sinus infection. It can last for 2-3 weeks. Do you have a post nasal drip? That could explain the taste.

Loss of taste and smell can be a side effect of some meds - my mom stopped some of hers because it was so annoying.

Ok, here is the deal. 7 weeks ago I had a spinal fusion and rods installed from my butt to my neck. It was in the hospital I lost the sence of taste and smell as well as hearing in my right ear. After the resultes came back just today, I had lost spinal fluid and my brain fell down onto my skull. Thats hard to believe. Anyway it pressed the nerves somehow at the spot in my brain that takes care of these sences. I have since regained the hearing and some smell but the taste is still gone. Nothing they can do about it but wait and see if it comes back.

I gotta tell ya, it sucks to be me. This stuff just will not stop. I feel like I am with in inches of turning into a cartoon character.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
