Talked to my mom tonight. She said in the last 3 months, everything she eats has absolutely no flavor. She was put on Asacol last January for Krohn's disease. I recently read an article stating that old age dulls the tastebuds, and meds and med mixes can too. I couldn't find any side effects from the meds she's on that diminish taste. I did tell her to talk to her doctor.
I suggested using more herbs, spices, pickles, olives, vinegar, etc. in her cooking. She likes chocolate milk, and squeezed a whole bottle of Hershey's chocolate syrup into her serving and still couldn't taste it. She's all of 95 pounds and needs to eat, has all her teeth and marbles, and is an adequate cook.
Any ideas as to how to make food have flavor for her?
