    Has anyone who has experienced pituitary problems or had ipi or nivo experience a change in taste?  It seems some foods have become more bland. Particularly pickled items.

      Maybe it's the prednisone?

      2 weeks after my second round of Yervoy/Opdivo I had some taste changes but very different. Anything that was sweet was now super sweet as in not able to eat due to sweetness. Even artifical sweetners were the same. I found myself deluting zero calorie sports drinks. Also anything salty became to salty. Anything with salt added became hard to eat, pasta sauces, going out to eat became a pain due to salt added to food. It has been 4 weeks now and it has not changed.

      Change in taste can be thyroid related, make sure to get thyroid levels checked.
