What Causes Loss Of Taste?

My sense of taste has diminished significantly. I've checked with my doctor, who says this shouldn't be caused by any medication I am on (Trocor and Lexapro). My dental hygiene is fine, as I've just visited my dentist. I have suffered from acid reflux for many years, and will start a 14 day Prilocec treatment tomorrow. What else can I do? If my esophagus has been damaged from af and this is causing my problem, can it be reversed. This loss of taste condition is frustrating and depressing. Thank you.
