It sounds to me like you may have Long Covid. I also suffer from this, as well as loss of taste and smell since December of 2022 after having a mild case of Covid. I don’t taste any flavors of any kind of food, only if it’s sweet, salty or bitter. Could be the same for you. I was diagnosed at the Long Covid Center at Northwestern Chicago, finally in 2025. Yes, it does suck, but I know others who are far worse off than I am.

@lkirnbauer , sure hope your smell returns. I was diagnosed with post covid syndrome by Duke ENT from mild case in Sept 2023. I was told taste is closely related to sense of smell. My smell returned, but metallic/bitter/salty taste remains.
