It's not taste buds: That concern me in this case - it's the vomiting and dizziness for such a prolonged time. This can lead to and be a sign of severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. It warrants urgent attention and deeper evaluation into the cause of the problem.

See your doctor ASAP: If you have dizziness and vomiting for 9 days you need to see your doctor or hospital emergency room immediately. Your sense of taste being "off" from constant vomiting is the least of your problems. You could be getting seriously dehydrated and this an kill you. Do not wait. Get to the doctor!
