Loss of hunger and taste and smell.

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?

Mostly because I am finding that more and more foods aggravate my IBS and then I have a lot of cramping. And actually I am less hungry. I was never like then even 4 years ago. The diverticulitis and persistent IBS change my appetite I am finding. Thankfully I never lost me sense of smell and taste but I can empathize with you.
