Hi @Fionap2017, Water has always made me gag, even before chemo. I can manage a mouthful to swallow tablets but that is about it. I live off lassi's. The yoghurt is good for your gut and mouth. I half fill a blender with plain yoghurt then add whatever fruit I want (bananas, blueberries etc) sweeten with honey and lots of ice. Most of my food is raw and contains lots of water. I eat fruit and only drink cold pressed juices which are expensive but can be easily watered down. Once watered down you can add a teaspoon of chia seeds to give it even more substance. Throw in a few goji berries as well and it's way more than a drink. (I've still got 4 taxols to go and couldn't feel more internally liquified, like all my muscles have turned to jelly). Cheers and good luck with finding what's best for you.
