Taste

Hi Clare no fixed time but improvements  can occur around 12 week mark ,by 6 month many tastes are back in one form or another . Some thjngs take longer .I was one of the unusual ones I never lost taste but I’m the opposite I have accentuated taste buds now.  I’m almost 4 years and still getting small improvements. 
Hope this helps

Hi Clare. I was a year before I was comfortable with my taste and another two years before using Duraphat didn’t mess my taste up. 

Hi Clare. I started putting weight back in around the 15 month period once I started eating I didn’t put anything in. My body shape altered as well lost my belly for want if a better word. Lol 

So enjoy the  cream cakes when you can  it doesn’t last forever the free ride to eating !!!

Just  remember  any sweet stuff doesn’t help our teeth swings and roundabouts. I know.

Hi,

I finished my treatment on the 5th November last year. I can now eat chilli and spicy food, hooray, but can’t taste sugar at all so avoid anything sweet. Strangely I find my taste gets better at the end of the day when when saliva production seems to improve. I had really never appreciated the link between saliva and taste. It’s a slow process regaining taste for me but how exciting it is when I realise that I can taste things again from pretreatment.

I was looking at some meta analysis concerning dental care post treatment. 
It shows that people taking their nutrition via feeding tube do better dentally than those taking their high calorie high sugar food orally.

Hi Clare

i am nearly 9 months on.  I can taste most things now.  Although some things don’t taste quite right.  I can eat most things now too.  I had a very slow start with it all at the beginning but really improved around 4 months or so.
