I had a lot of diverticulitis over the past 2 years and persistent IBS and also have lost my appetite a lot and have to push myself to eat too. Luckily I never got COVID. I hope you feel better.

Thanks for your response. I had been suffering with Diverticulitis for years and had never lost my sense of taste or smell before. This loss of taste and smell really all started before I contracted Covid. It wasn’t a severe loss, but I noticed little signs like my toothpaste wasn’t tasting very minty and small signals like that. After contracting Covid, I lost both taste and smell completely and now 8 months later still have none. So are you pushing yourself to eat because you can’t taste or smell or is it because you are just not hungry?
