- SarnicadMember@Trikki2 the other thing I tolerate in the first week after chemo is a very small amount of hot chips usually had with chicken and peas and gravy. I think I just crave the salt and whiteness of it
- Trikki2Member@Sarnicad thanks for the input. I hope i find something nice soon. Pineapple makes my tongue sting. Eggs are ok. Chicken next on the list. Glad it doesnt last foreverxxx
Take care x - SarnicadMember@Trikki2 depends where I am in my cycles of chemo. This week I eat pretty much everything until after Friday when I have treatment and then I go to white bread vegemite sandwiches, chicken poached and anything else that comes in the Blanc diet - no dairy, very few veggies and all fruit tastes shit. I will be trying pineapple this time just to see if it makes a difference. Generally no taste buds in the first 10 days and I live on nexium and gastro stop which is then finely balanced to not being constipated. Once I turn the corner of feeling shit about day 11 all food is up for grabs but several things that I used to enjoy taste weird still eg chocolate and wine
- Trikki2MemberChocolate is hideous now. I never thought i would say that hahahha
- SisterMemberI couldn't eat chocolate about halfway through as it tasted disgusting and it stayed that way until a few weeks afterwards.

Yes the vegemite is working. Veges no but still eating. Fruit weird but still do it . Bloody constipation, so i have to. Gone from porridgr to weetbix. Thanks lovely xxx - FinchMemberVegemite vegemite vegemite all the way and on everything . My taste buds were awful and my mouth swelled . Anything salty. Cajun spice sprinkled on roasted veggies.
Ginger gummie bears . Jelly snakes.
Bananas and avocados were great
i couldn't stomach coffee or my beloved cup of tea but discovered hot chocolates in my third cycle, they were delicious with a marshmallow or two.
I was fighting constipation so ate lots of fruit and veggies, prunes, and a terrible chia porridge I made myself every morning for breakfast. I will never eat that again (shakes head in horror)
