Everything Smells And Taste Bad. I Have Lost Over 30
Question: everything smells and taste bad. I have lost over 30 pounds in the last 3 months. I get sick when I eat. Chicken soup (no red meat which I love) is about the only thing I can tolerate. I've CT Scans, MRI'S, upper and lower GI'S, blood work, and stool samples. Still no answers. Thank you
Brief Answer:
Sinusitis or polyp may be the cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
Taking count that all your examinations such blood work, CT scan, MRI, upper and lower GI 's are normal I think the problem may be at your sinuses.
Probably you may be having sinusitis or a polyp or a growth that blocks your nasal passage.
An abscess in your mouth or other dental problems can release bad-tasting stuff into your mouth. Dentures also can cause problems related to discomfort and bad taste.
I think this is probably even the opinion of your doctors since you are doing MRI of sinuses.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
