Unable to eat a lot of foods due to COVID

I caught COVID back in July 2021 and lost my taste / smell. This came back after a few months however my taste and smell was not as strong.

My taste then started to change again. I can no longer eat any meat, onions, garlic, cheese and onion, eggs, peppers, beans and many more foods. I am unable to explain the taste as it is not a taste I have ever come across before however all of the foods I have mentioned taste exactly the same. It is kind of like a gone off, foul taste. Even tooth paste tastes awful.

I also cannot stand the smell of hot food being cooked, the smell smells like how the above foods taste^. Also when I curl / straighten / apply heat to my hair this is a horrible smell.

I am aware that others are suffering with similar issues however I am wondering if anybody has had any advice / found any remedies that have worked 😦
