Can a knock to the head do this? It entirely changed what I wanted to eat.

Hi unconcerned and Welcome!
Wow, that was quite a fall.
Sometimes strange things happen with traumatic injury. I got RSD in 96 -which is a neurological condition. And it affected my taste and smell. I no longer enjoy coffee (and I own a coffee business), a lot of foods that I used to enjoy can no longer eat or even stand the smell of. Who Knows??? Strange,I know my mother in law lost her sense of smell and taste after having spinal menengitis. And I had a friend that lost sense of smell and taste after a car wreck.
Take care and again Welcome! loretta
