In fact, when getting treatment they had bowls of jolly ranchers for people to suck on to mask the rancid taste in your mouth and combat nausea. It is strange because back then jolly ranchers were great but I totally could not eat them right now.<BR/><BR/>When I went through chemo the taste of alchohol was really gross. LOL So I had just the opposite affect. Thinking back now, I could drink beer before I had chemo but I have not drank it since. I hate the taste of beer. I guess that is good because I save lots of calories, money, time wasting, and health by not drinking it! :o)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11258414765006397310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10853043.post-7293748948429711172007-11-15T14:44:00.000-08:002007-11-15T14:44:00.000-08:00Green tea wasabi peanuts are doing the trick.

I eat them and I can tell endorphins are released in my brain as I get the euphoric sensation a chocolate lover gets when eating a really good truffle. Snacking on them is a relieving sensation as if they were my security blanket. I eat them every morning and day. The bag is almost empty and I will have to go buy some more. I don't know how long this will last but I will enjoy it while I can.<BR/><BR/>Raspberry shebert was too sweet and gross. It was also a different brand I got at Alberstons.<BR/><BR/>Stick with the Dreyers brand Orange Cream Sherbet. It has vanilla ice cream mixed in so I think that is why it is more mild and not so acidic or too sweet.<BR/><BR/>Yup! I went to Chili's last Saturday and ordered the Caribbean grilled chicken salad which has fresh pineapple, mandarin oranges and lime vinergarette. I could not finish it. Prior to the taste change it would have totally been up my alley! However, now it tasted like I stuck my tongue in a bowl of pure sugar! Yuck!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11258414765006397310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10853043.post-39019732807948584072007-11-09T11:25:00.000-08:002007-11-09T11:25:00.000-08:00When my sister-in-law was going through chemo she ...When my sister-in-law was going through chemo she had the same taste bud problems. Oddly, she craved bloody Mary mix-- the spicy one. I suggested V-8 thinking the vegetables would be more nutritious. Nope. Had to be bloody Mary mix. The weird thing was she never even drank alcohol before cancer. I didn't know she had ever tried a bloody Mary in her life. But because she was getting deyhydrated and wasn't drinking water, I got that bloody Mary mix for her and she loved it. So strange what chemicals can do to your taste buds adn the rest of your body. Glad you've both found foods you can eat.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093639101711800065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10853043.post-81520282795965129922007-11-09T06:13:00.000-08:002007-11-09T06:13:00.000-08:00I found your blog and even tho we don't have the s...I found your blog and even tho we don't have the same illness (I have MS) I do have the same weird taste problems and nausea. I used to eat everything and now I struggle to find something to appease my suddenly finicky palate. <BR/><BR/>Like you, anything "Italian" is off the table. One thing I can get down is plain french toast lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar (LIGHTLY) and no syrup. Sometimes I can eat an orange if it tastes like an orange. Ya know, most fruits don't taste like fruit anymore. Sigh...<BR/><BR/>I'll give the orange sherbet a try. It does sound good!Have Myelin?https://www.blogger.com/profile/15180457748501693989noreply@blogger.com
