You may equate colon cancer treatment with a loss of appetite or weight loss, but something that affects many patients undergoing colon cancer treatment is a change in their taste buds, with everyday foods just not tasting the same as they did before treatment. Colon Cancer Treatment: How and Why Taste Changes.
Infection or inflammation in your mouth can cause loss of taste. (Inflammation means redness and swelling.) Head injury and Bell's palsy can also affect the ability to taste. (Bell's palsy is an inflammation of the nerves of the face.) Some medicines (like antibiotics and blood pressure pills) can affect smell and taste. Cigarette smoking, chemicals and a lack of vitamins or minerals (like vitamin B12 and zinc) can also cause problems with taste and smell.
