    Hi

    A piece of fresh pineapple from the fridge (don't really want tinned re tinny taste) or a Ginger Nut biscuit just before eating can kick start your taste buds.

    Most with this taste issue tend to go one of two ways - Eating bland foods like Cereals, Pasta, Rice, Porridge, Creamy Soups, Cottage Cheese etc .

    J went the other way and really spiced things up to get some flavour from her food, not necessarily to create heat but to bring out flavours - we lived of curries and chilli based meals for about 4 months.

    It's trying to find what works and what makes this taste worse and going with that.

    Do check the main breast groups February Chemo Discussion clicking this link to get some more info and have a chat with other members going through BC chemo.

    Hope this is of some help, G n' J
