Tastebuds are out-of-whack

Suddenly, Ice creams tastes awful.
Actually all dairy is tasting not so great. Yogurt, ranch, cheese; none of it tastes right!
I took a bite out of my son's pizza slice last night, and it tasted bland! My DH confirmed that the pizza was far from bland.

This week has been an implosion of symptoms for me. This particular symptom is one that I have not experienced with my previous two pregnancies. I'm a total foodie, so this is slightly depressing to me!

I have days like that where everything tastes bitter or rotten. Super frustrating.

most days food tastes like cardboard to me... super frustrating.

Went to Baskin Robbins the other day and ordered coffee and pralines n cream ice cream with bananas, caramel and whipped cream. I was soo excited because it's my favorite craving, but when I ate it it just tasted like complete crap and I ended up throwing it away. I only cried a little bit.

The other day I ate yogurt and it tasted like spaghetti. I still can't figure that one out.

I totally know what you mean! I've been feeling that way with bell peppers lately. I usually love them but lately the texture and flavor have been making me gag.

I enjoy eating healthy in general but in this pregnancy I am craving sugar, fats, salts... all of the bad things.

I used to love green beans. I've tried to eat them at least 6 different times, and they always taste like dirt. I never thought I'd be so upset over a vegetable.

Jazz1016 · April 2016

that is devastating! lol @Little+Tiny

Jazz1016 · April 2016

@ShallowSeas That is so random and hilarious.

Little+Tiny · April 2016

I'm gonna risk the hate from the PB lovers out there, but usually I can't stand peanut butter. The smell, the taste, all of it is gross to me, but lately I can't get enough of it.

Totally normal! When I have ice cream it tastes really weird to me now! I am also not a spicy food person but when I'm pregnant in all about it because everything tastes bland!

Milk tastes vaguely of artificial raspberry flavor to me. DH says he doesn't taste it. Also, someone brought a giant tub of red vines to work and they smelled so strongly of chemicals I didn't even taste one. I was sad. I know red vines are pretty much just chemicals, but usually they're delicious chemicals. I also tried roasted salted pumpkin seeds, which I usually love, and they tasted like poop smells. Gag.

Recently we made baked ziti, which is my favorite food (other than mac and cheese), and it tasted so bland

Also, my toothpaste tasted like cherry cough drops and my everything bagel tasted burnt even though it wasn't. My tongue is so confused!

I have this same problem on random days too! Mine is like a weird sour after taste when I eat something. I've tried brushing my teeth to see if it could have been what I ate but it doesn't go away. I have even tried different foods after but doesn't help. I hate it!

I used to dislike the smell of beef, now I love steak. Something else I love - ketchup on top of creamy ice cream. DH tries not to look at me weird.

MissAmeliaPond · April 2016

Omg I have so many food aversions right now and everything tastes bad except sweet things, and dairy is generally okay for me.

I love ketchup and pizza and they both taste sour to me right now. How can ketchup taste sour?! It's sweet GDI! Anything that's remotely tart tastes horrifically bitter to me. I had grapes the other day and they tried to kill me with how sour they were. Last night I had to get pancakes and scrambled eggs because that's the only thing that sounded remotely good. I also had a yogurt parfait but most of the fruit in it was too sour for me, too. Bleah.

Knottie1458416769 · April 2016

Have you tried grapes? The midnight California kind (whatever they are called) are really sweet

Jazz1016 · April 2016

I just tried some celery and literally gagged. Why is it that all that I can stomach is taquitos and fries!

beforeyou · April 2016

the past couple of days things have tasted fuzzy to me. Like when I drink water it feels like there is a film on it that coats my tongue.
