My experience was that on day 12, I made some sourdough toast and when I brought it up to my mouth the smell almost made me gag. It smelled horrific. I had everyone in the house smell it, 6 people and they said it smelled like sourdough toast. I couldn't drink coffee for 6 days, I couldn't get past the smell, and I'm a coffee addict. The 7th day of this and things began to return to normal. Smell makes us about 80% of your taste.
