Hello People :) do the taste buds warp so quickly?

Hi Peter  and welcome to the Community.

A note book and someone with you taking notes can help a lot, you can also ask if you can record your appointments.

Everyone can react differently but yes, your taste buds can get shot very quickly...... sucking a rust coin comes to mind.......My taste buds went very quickly

Try eating strong flavoured food as this can help....... strong curries worked for me until my stomach could not take it.

The main things I snacked on chilly flavoured crisps and lots and lots of fresh (not tinned) pineapple and melon.

Drink lots of water (2-3 Lt a day) helped this as well as flush out your kidneys. 

Well done getting your profile done as this helps

Thanks Mike i will check out chilli flavoured stuff & strong curries , do home made stuff . I get some pineapple and melon as well. I have been  caining  2 Lt bottle full of water in one go with a break between bottle flushes , slightly tedious however essential , so 3 Lt ok i got room for that to flush more 

Hi Pieter

I too had R-Chop and unfortunately it hit the taste buds pretty quickly in the middle week of each 3 week cycle.

I found fresh pineapple with mint, boiled eggs and vanilla ice cream got me through the worst of it.

Best wishes

Hi, add to the above seasoned sausages and bacon which was often eaten on a lunchtime, in a sandwich. I also found tinned pineapple worked when I could not get fresh, it helps with the dry mouth if you experience that to. Homemade soups can get through to the taste buds to and simple foods like mince and mash worked for me as well.
