Guest guest Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I had the same thing happen when my ctoma was removed. Even though it's not possible to put it back together, the brain eventually will learn to adapt, and things will start tasting normal on both sides of the tongue. Usually within a month or two.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 When I came home from the hospital after my c-toma removal surgery, my wife gave me some soup and crackers. When I started eating a cracker, it tasted like paper, and that's when she told me that my taste nerve had been cut. So for a couple of months, I did the same as your son - yucky stuff on the side with no taste, and yummy stuff on the taste side. Oh, and really spicy stuff on the no-taste side. But gradually my taste came back on both sides, so that trick doesn't work anymore. I'm not sure how it happens, but it does! Now I wonder if the taste nerve on the other side gets cut, if I'll be able to taste anything at all. Hopefully I never have to find out.
