Had a weird suspicion but tonights dinner of beef and vegetable soup confirmed it, all warm/hot food since catching covid tastes really spicy to me⌠While I like spicy food, having every meal be spicy is going to get old quickly, especially as I transition back to solids (yay ulcers finally healing!).

I believe itâs really common to have things taste/smell wrong for a while as your senses return - something to do with your brain having to relearn what some smells actually are and getting it wrong. Spicy does not sound too bad, the most common is to have things taste/smell foul or rotten.

Yeah would much rather everything taste like itâs been seasoned to resemble lava than it tasting like I picked it out of a bin.

What an odd symptom. Canât say I had that one! I was actually trying to eat as much spicy stuff as I could when I lost my taste/smell to try and taste something.

I would give anything to be able to eat a curry laksa but not experience the spiciness of it.
I have a very low tolerance to spicy foods :(

Iâve googled and canât find anything about it so Iâm semi thinking it might be a mixture of covid and my ulcer meds doing a number on my taste buds.

To be honest anythingâs possible worth this thing.
So many symptoms associated with it. Wouldnât be surprised if it did it by half measures too.

If everything seems spicy what happens when you eat spicy food?

Iâm not sure, but Iâll let you know once I can have spicy food again. Iâll also add lots of sweet foods taste waxy at the moment as well, which is strange.
