What food do you eat?

Hi lovelies 
Now i have no tastebuds, im eating food but as you know nothing tastes great. What are your foods that work??
Thanks Trikki2 
  • Crumpets with cheese and vegemite are yum. Lol. It's like a lottery. 
  • Mine actually changed from week to week - I was never sure what I was going to like.  One meal that did almost stay the distance though was pasta with cherry tomatoes, garlic and black olives. By the end of chemo, I really couldn't taste any flavours just the basic sweet, bitter and salty.
  • This may be very individual! The conventional advice is to try spicier foods so you can taste something. Didn't work at all for me. I could taste and enjoy salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber), eggs almost any way, avocado and banana. Couldn't really taste much else. None of the above are exactly highly flavoured. Cooked meat, vegetables were hopeless. As it was late summer, early autumn when I had the problem salads were fine, bit less so if you are enjoying the temperatures in southern Australia! Trial and error I am afraid is what's required. Take heart, taste buds will come back.
