And I would like to add, that low zinc status will impact taste and smell ability.
There are some drugs that are known to cause it too... one specifically is Biaxin. This drug is not used much today, except for people allergic to penicillin. It is listed as a treatment for H.pylori stomach bacteria, as well. But Zithromax sort of replaced it for those allergic to penicillin, these days. It is still on the market but just not a first line treatment anymore.
