A member asked:
I had a tbi two months ago. since then i have lost my taste and smell any ideas or things to eat to regaining these senses back?

Wait: Loss of smell is common after head injury and may not return. The delicate olfactory nerves are easily avulsed. This then secondarily affects the sense of taste. Give it 12 months. If it does not return by then it will never return.
