Hep-c type 1 stage 4
My taste buds are going to like nothing tase right Is it because of my hep-c and why?
I don't know the medical explanation, but I can say that when the liver is diseased, then things start to taste bitter, even sweet things. I had jaundice a couple of times and had to eat sugar candy which tasted terrible.

I don't think it is the HCV directly causing the taste bud problem but the liver disease might be. I remember reading somewhere that severe liver damage can cause food to taste bad or have no taste. I seem to recall there is a connection. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
