How does taste change after bariatric surgery?
David Wiss MS RDN walks you through some of the latest research related to changes in taste following bariatric surgery. How is that possible? Evidence suggests alterations in gut microbiota following certain procedures may be responsible for changes in food preferences for some people. It appears that the gut-brain axis can explain so many of the questions we still have about nutrition and health.
Nutrition in Recovery is a group practice of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists and other health professionals who specialize in the treatment of addictions, eating disorders, body image, mental health, as well as general wellness.
