I'll get really hungry then I'll try eating some soup or granola and it just tastes weird and I stop eating for several hours.

I'm tapering off a med and I started a couple vitamins and I have some other stuff going on.

So I'm not sure if this is a med withdrawel side effect or some other ****.

Protein shakes immediatly make me puke a ton. So I try not to drink them too much.

MD, how about calling your doc that prescribes your meds to ask if this is a side affect?

There is a chocolate shake that I like. It is made with Fairlife milk, which is milk from which through a process called untra filtration half of natural sugar and carbs has been washed out. I have been drinking the milk itself since an RD recommended it in summer 2021. It tasted exactly the same but is more concentrated in protein and calcium. And then the shakes are based on it but have some other stuff. The brand is called Core Power.

I like them a lot. There is one with 26 g protein per bottle and one with 42 g protein. I drink them at the gym and when I am away from home for a long time.

All the other protein shakes, including Core Power in Vanilla or in Strawberry Banana, taste disgusting to me. But Core Power Chocolate ones are a gem. They help me a lot both with fitness.

I had Covid a couple of years ago and lost my sense of smell, naturally that effected the taste of food. I also went through a stage of parosmia as things progressed and the smells I got were awful, things I normally love to smell like coffee brewing and certain food aromas were all putrefying and disgusting.

Thankfully that part eventually passed. However, my smell has never returned back to normal...

Occasionally I'll get a true whiff of something like fresh cut grass, a fireplace or the lovely scent of lavender or such, but other than that, nada. It'll be two years next month, I miss it, and the impact it has had on my ability to taste things has deeply diminished along with it as well.
