Hi Dianna :)

Give yourself a sodium test, 1/8 tsp. salt in 8 oz water. Stir and taste. Can you taste salt? If it tastes salty to you, you probably don't need sodium, UNLESS it tastes really good to you. If it tastes like plain water, or even better than plain water, you need salt.

If you cant taste other foods, then it could be aguesia, loss of the sense of taste or hypogeusia, diminished sensitivity to taste.

HI,
My dad been suffering from same problem. He too cant taste salt for over months now. if you have got any remedies for that please mail me..

Diana, usually not being able to taste salt is due to a lack of the correct amount of zinc in your body. Try a multivitamin or zinc supplement and give it about 3-4 weeks.

If you still can't taste salt then you might have a condition called "burning mouth syndrome."

It is not a serious condition and can be diagnosed by your physician however there is no known cure for it. It's cause is also unknown.

Most of the time it resolves within a year. It is one of those odd diagnoses that we don't know much about.

Google burning mouth syndrome to get more information about it.
