Lindyloo,
Nothing is trivial!!
I know exactly what you mean. I just had #2 last Tues. & can relate to the bicarb mouth crap! I know it's a must. My taste is off too, no sweets, only soups of all types. I can relate to the extra salt cravings from earlier comments, I've added chilli to noodle soups for extra flavour. The only sweet drink I'm tolerating is ginger beer as I've found it's helping with the nausea.
I did find that as I got closer to having the next cycle, my appetite reemerged and my taste buds returned (ready for another onslaught of chemo)
Take care,
