Abstract
Disorders in different regions of the alimentary tract have been associated with alterations in gustatory function. Current understanding of mechanisms underlying the taste disturbances and their impact on the physical and emotional well-being of patients is incomplete. Indeed, in most instances, present knowledge remains at a descriptive level. Accumulating evidence that profound interactions occur between the sense of taste and alimentary function poses a challenge to apply this knowledge in the clinic setting.Keywords
