In regards to getting taste back to normal I did a clinical trial of omega 3 1,000 in a day and that seemed to help bring smell and taste from <25% to 50%+/- Retraining my nose via smelling various essential oils I used to detect the difference between tangerine and orange or lemon. Also, specifically Japanese acupuncture - they press meridians and points along your body and put needles there instead of just a local area. That helped! There’s also a specific point on your head that is just for taste too.

Eating corn won’t help what I’m dealing with. Corn is one of the foods that stink and tastes bad. Beef, chicken, pork, corn, potatoes, Green beans, plain rice, mozzarella cheese, my toothpaste, ice cream, popcorn (and the list goes on) all taste the exact same and smell the exact scent… awful. It’s not a smell I’ve ever smelled before nor a taste I’ve ever tasted. I’m down to only a couple things I can actually eat. This isn’t fun anymore.
