- 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 itSign in to react to this post
- 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 xSign in to react to this post - 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 wineSign in to react to this post

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 xxxSign in to react to this post - 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)

- kmakmMemberI just went with nutrition. Lean protein, veg, smoothies. Couldn't taste much at all by the end of it. But six weeks after my last infusion I could pretty much taste everything. Hang in there. K xoxSign in to react to this post
