Is it normal to have your taste come and go. Good one day not so good the next? Up and down daily? It’s been almost 3 months since treatment ended
any reasons why it changes often?
mark is going for his results tomorrow please good thoughts TYIA.
Hi Rose. Wished you both luck in your "nuts" thread but good luck again here
Is it normal to have your taste come and go
Bang on normal. If something suddenly tastes bad or not at all abandon it for a week and try again.
It took me a year to be able to eat a chicken caesar salad...one of my fabourite foods, though I can't have Caesar salad dressing it has to be olive oil and balsamic glaze. Husband always said Avocados taste of soap and for a long time I agreed with him

Totally usual I’m 7 years and although I never lost taste I can still get metallic if I eat shop bought tomatoes. Took me years to eat lettuce and it can still taste metallic just go with it.

Thank you all. We took a nice walk last nite it was good to get outside with a nice warm breeze finally. I pray today brings us all much joy. ️
Hi Rose,
It's been over a year since my treatment ended - chocolate still tastes "odd" and all fruit and yoghurt taste very sour to me. I read somewhere else on this forum that our taste buds get "tired" very quickly - seems to be the case with me.
Thinking of you and Mark - I hope your results are good
Best wishes, Debbie xx
