Foods
I would like some hints and ideas about what foods might tempt my daughter if she is feeling unwell from chemotherapy. I will be doing some meals for her.
Hi Heather,
I loved pumpkin soup, vegemite on toast,anything salty. Even though I couldnt taste it I still craved savoury foods. Stay away from fatty and dairy foods. I loved lemonade ice blocks..actually I lived on them. I ate fruit but only coz I felt like i should be eating fruit. I ate mashed potato & pumpkin a fair bit. At one stage I wanted fish fingers and I never usually eat them.
Everyone is different so what we all like and feel like may not be what others feel like.It's kind of like you are pregnant and have cravings. Since finishing chemo I have been wanting to eat alot of fish so I think my body must be needing Omega 3.
Hope everything goes well. Take care.
