Why do we lose the sense of taste and smell?!
Question: I often can't taste or smell things. I only know when my sense of taste has disappeared when it comes back (yes sounds strange). This has been happening for years. I have taken zinc tablets but that doesn't seem to improve things, but eating oysters does (temporarily only for a few days then its back to enjoying crunchy food rather than flavours). Yes weird, but does anyone know what helps.

Many things may affect sense of smell. thyroid disease can disturb it or even hormones can change our ability to sense smell or taste. You may even have a significant zinc deficiency which is why the tablets don't help but oysters (which are a huge natural source of zinc) do.
good luck
There are quite a few medical conditions with decreased senses of smell and taste as a symptom. Including depression, anosmia, allergic reactions, past head injuries, etc etc. Do some research, there are just too many things that could be causing it to guess.
