I'll buy the items that I always liked in the past, and usually end up throwing away. I'll prepare a TV dinner, and after 3-4 bites, I'm done. I seem to be always hungry , but nothing interests me (except chocolate) which is not good for Diabetes 2. Can MS effect taste buds?

Oh, yes and it was wonderful for me. I had always had a weight problem and I lost 78lb in about 9 mts. Then I went on betaseron and when it kicked in and started working my taste buds came back and I eat anything. Needless to say most of my weight has come back! Bummer!!!!

There are some medications that definitely affect taste.

Nutrition is so important in managing your chronic disease, I am a dietitian @lifenutritiontherapy.com MS does change your taste buds, just have to remind yourself to eat healthful foods because you deserve it.

I know when I had a relaps, nothing tasted good and I was not hungery. I lost 40 lbs. I am better now and am hungery but most foods I can walk right by and I do not care. I even forget that there are brownies in the frig. lol

I'd talk to your doctor about it... Could it be a sign of depression?
