Hi Lindyloo
Honestly I don't think anything takes that taste away but time. For me it only was really bad for a few days each cycle, I think it was by day 5-6 that even water tasted disgusting.
Believe it or not the last few chemos I would get cooking magazines to read, I was so looking forward to tasting food again!!! I had a sore mouth as well and many foods didn't go down well had to eat sloppy ones. And unbelievably salty foods went down well. Scrambled eggs with lots of salt was my post chemo fave and fish and chips!!.In fact anything laced with salt! - I went and brought the himalayan salt with dulce flakes in an attempt to pretend I was eating healthily. I used the biotene toothpaste (still do), but didn't like there mouthwash. I used bicarb as a mouthwash in the morning, and salty water in the avo. Don't ask me why but that combo worked - and I only washed my mouth out 4 times a day or it made it worse. Good luck with your treatment, and just remember it will pass.
