She's Got COVID-19 and Now She Can't Taste Anything She Eats!

[@ricky_norris]

why isnt this a whole film we can watch in this wierd time yet! this is brilliant

[@ChrisFrancis]

coming soon I hope......

[@danabishop670]

Seriously!

[@jamesralston5462]

Amazing! Excited to follow the rest of your story!! Food ideas: black licorice, vegimite, uncooked rhubarb. Also, big fan of the Kimchi idea!

[@RachelKGroup]

Ideas for what to taste next: dried red chili pepper, spoon full of turmeric, anchovies (or any fishy fish - canned sardines?). Thanks for sharing the fun during your challenging time. You guys are the best! I

[@danabishop670]

Kimchi!! For a smell test!

[@littlejoetv]

Am I the only one completely fascinated by this?! Brilliant!

[@Dan87656]

"Red headed root" best line! Love it!

[@chris.stetson]

Haha! This is so funny! Hard to believe she can't actually taste anything! Looking forward to seeing more from this crazy time! Would love to hear more about your story and both getting diagnosed and being on quarantine together. Great work!

[@ChrisFrancis]

Thanks Chris!

[@fangshizhu9383]

Hope she gets better soon.

[@ChrisFrancis]

Thank you!

[@Ritadeee]

Her face through the tasting was so cute. Almost like she's not biting into an onion like an apple.

[@EricAddison]

Excellent work! Love this! And taste or no taste, I would not put some of those things in my mouth...

[@khomakie]

for sure a mental block on some of this stuff as my brain is like "DON'T DO IT!" haha

[@QTLissa]

How creative, I love this! I want to see the whole film already! 👏🏼 Love that you made something positive and fun out of all of this.

[@danbrown7417]

My daughters say, “I want to watch another one.” Their future contestants are: hot sauce, horseradish, lemon, whole black peppercorns, jalapeño...or ghost pepper!

[@marciabainter2163]

Bet she had good breath after that!!!

[@marciabainter2163]

🤗

[@iamzachandrews]

“Could be yogurt...Could be pudding...” LOL

[@ChrisFrancis]

North Gaming Supply so gross 🥴

[@STOPusername]

Good lord that’s crazy! I would use this power to eat all the veggies I hate and get those nutrients lol But she should do salmon or a stinky cheese!

[@ChrisFrancis]

Stinky cheese is definitely trending right now....

[@DrNomad]

Contrary to popular opinion, the veggies are not nearly as healthy as you'd think. Organ meats would be my go-to with this super power.

[@Esligoes2]

Dang! What? All of that's nuts, but I'm also bummed for her not being able to eat AND enjoy taste! I hope it comes back!

[@corycascia6320]

Love this. I am just getting out of covid and I still cant taste or smell much. This is so funny. LOL.

[@alvalosfranklin1785]

Hey search for Dr ehisz on KZbin,I regain my sense of taste and smell after several months thanks to him;

[@jeffyoungren3647]

Oh my goodness this is the most amazing thing! I was fine until GARLIC and then wanted to puke....LOL! I think she needs to taste Durian! That is the most foul thing I've ever experienced. Or what about Roquefort cheese?!?!!?

[@h2stokes]

Can you have her do blind guessing version?

[@khomakie]

fun idea! I probably would be very bad at that too!

[@jeslinger]

Haha, yes! Put each item in a blender that way she has to guess what it is while blind-folded.

[@AbramsGJ]

Just tragic... tragically funny. Round 2 - Chocolate: Chili Dark Chocolate EXCELLENCE Bar, Double Dark Chocolate Milano Cookies, Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds, Toblerone Dark Chocolate with Honey & Almond Nougat, Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.

[@ChrisFrancis]

why do I have a feeling Krista is going to want to save those for an episode later down the road.....

[@khomakie]

yes! I'm so into this!!! :)

[@rebekahsanders2047]

Seaweed! Beef jerky? Also, what is happeninnnnng??! When will her taste and smell come back? I need morrrrre.

[@khomakie]

oh man I do not like seaweed!!! I'll definitely have to work on the mental block of eating all these things that I would never normally eat! :P

[@sassycassycan]

Awesome! Kimchi, Celery juice, Sardines!!!!

[@khomakie]

is celery juice a thing?!? I never knew!

[@sassycassycan]

😂 It totally is. You make it in the fancy juicer Chris has. When I did a liver cleanse last year my health coach said I had to drink 8 oz every morning first thing. Well I could barely get an ounce down! It’s NASTY 🤢😝

[@betocabral9983]

Cabbage with Bok Choy juice. They go really well together for horrible tasting juice. Hope you guys get better soon!

[@ChrisFrancis]

maybe blend with some babaganoush?!?!?

[@betocabral9983]

@@ChrisFrancis totes magotes!

[@sheerahhaywood2450]

Oh my goodness. Red headed root. Hahah! Y’all are awesome.

[@ChrisFrancis]

my favorite line :)

[@trevorbishop1395]

Amazing!

[@dnjnnfranco]

I want Krista's taste to come back, and thankful at least ginger had a reaction :D Here's some strong flavors for round #2: liver, gefilte fish, sardines, sausage, southern peacan pie (I think that's the sweetest thing I've ever tasted??), straight gin??

[@1ljsierra]

Love this!! Can't wait to see the whole thing.

[@s.miller5556]

All these gross items, instead she should have something good like chocolate!

[@khomakie]

Yes!!! I'm all about that!

[@jeslinger]

Hahaha, I can't wrap my mind around not being able to taste garlic. I vote for Krista to try Limburger Cheese!

[@HappinessAdventure]

you guys are so funny!!!! Love it!

[@TankTastic]

Covid is actually here so people could try new things, I mean eat new things. Lol

[@grayworks84]

Hilarious, can’t believe she could not taste an onion!

[@ChrisFrancis]

great crunch though! sounded like an apple

[@bronsonpate8649]

Hilarious!! How about straight yeast?!

[@ChrisFrancis]

straight yeezy!

[@rubensworld]

She is super brave. Ha! As entertaining as it was, I truly hope she gets her taste back.

[@jeffreybishop5285]

I vote for spam. Great video! Hoping for more.

[@khomakie]

spam already makes me nervous at just the thought!

[@ricomolden]

Wash it down with a swig of buttermilk!

[@ChrisFrancis]

I like how you think Rico!

[@dustinhaymaker2682]

The garlic, ughhhhh.

[@khomakie]

yes - I was most worried about that one too!

[@throwpillows2471]

May I know how is she now? I recently got and have the same situation. please reply

[@ChrisFrancis]

Krista's ability to taste was lost one year ago from this Friday, it was pretty much completely gone for about 3 months, improved to maybe 10-15% recovered by the 6 month mark and has gradually improved over the past several months and she says she's about 70% recovered after 12 months.

[@TJHillMusic]

Well done you guys! Way to make lemonade out of virus lemons!

[@ChrisFrancis]

A very Strateejic move indeed!

[@sassycassycan]

Evelyn says: black coffee & mayonnaise

[@ChrisFrancis]

love it!

This is so fun! Kids and had a good laugh :)

[@diehliciouspix]

[@ChrisFrancis]

diehliciouspix very! This might have been the only enjoyment Krista has had with food in almost a month 🙁

Copper and zinc are critical for taste and smell. I would do a blood mineral test asap

[@126cardinal]

i got the same symptoms, this is scary

[@tessczerwinski5469]

OMG it’s just crazy how she can bite into that stuff like it’s tasty!

[@khomakie]

hahaha. there is a mental block for sure as my brain is like "THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!"

[@mikoaryayenijad]

She lost only tast or smell also I am covid also and lost both of them does she get back her sences. For me it's one month now

[@ChrisFrancis]

It took her about 4-5 months to get her smell back (about 7 months to fully get it back). it's been 8 months and her taste is only about 20% back

[@ChrisFrancis]

not as amazing as you Scotty!

[@Scantbracelet]

It’s been 2 years. Did she ever get her taste back?

[@ChrisFrancis]

she did! it took about 3 months to get just an inkling back and then took about a total of 7 months for it to fully come back.

[@vajagdjhdjagrjskvagsy7318]

Can you smell now?

[@KarakoIten]

Can she taste now?

[@ChrisFrancis]

after 7 months, her taste has only recovered about 20% so far unfortunately

[@KarakoIten]

@@ChrisFrancis I'm sorry to hear that. But hopefully her taste will recover step by step!

[@Gornik92]

@@ChrisFrancis and now? Some improvements?

[@ChrisFrancis]

@@Gornik92 smell is all the way back, but taste has only slightly improved. Maybe up to 25% at most?

[@Gornik92]

​@@ChrisFrancis this is a nightmare... I have the same problem after 3 months of first covid symptomes. My smell is on 10% and taste too. I wonder if it comes back to normal some day...

[@robertcampbell8054]

Not funny guys

[@heyty]

I wonder what differentiates our mouth's ability to sense spice vs. taste?

[@khomakie]

yeah I think it has to do with my loss of smell. I think a more accurate word is loss of flavor. As I can still tell sweet, spicy, bitter. Stuff like that. But zero flavor whatsoever. It's been interesting for sure!
