Food tasting rancid.

Hi Misscjayne 

Just found your blog on instagram...good stuff

Have your tried Auricular Acupuncture for saliva and taste....it helped me?

Hi that's awful , i hope it improves for you. I love food but I don't even want t to look at it.  Just keeping my fingers crossed it will get better later down the line. Take care. Xx

Hi everybody , I'm  on week 5 now of radiotherapy (1 more to go)  and feeling really well. Painful throat but paracetamol and oramorph keeping it tollerable.  Being fed through peg as taste is rancid. Feeling more tired now. But so relieved not as bad as expected.  Thank you all for your advice and comments. Best wishes. 

Hi Martie. You're on the home stretch...well done

Just hunker down for 3/4 weeks when you've finished and you'll start to come out of the fog. Hug. 

Hello Martie, it really does get better, though at different speeds for everyone. My taste buds and swallowing are fine now. Hang in there, keep getting the food/fuel and fluids down and you'll soon be turning the corner.  Sending love

Hi, it's awful I have not tried food since week 2. Week 6 next week. Like you I  cannot even look at food. I hope it gets better for both of us soon. Take care. Xx

Thank you for your comments, it is most encouraging. Glad that you are now well.  Xx

Hiiii…. Same here!

I had surgery last feb and finished radiotherapy last May, and food still tastes rotten, I’m told it will get better in time.

i used to love my food, now I don’t enjoy anything I find it boring, I have a 5 stone weight loss! So I try eat just because I have to 

just try eat what you can x

Hi everyone   finished 6 weeks of radiotherapy.  Pain the throat awful.  Mucus making me gag, sores on neck sore. Had a good cry. Dr put me on morphine patch  but still very painful.  Dreading going to sleep because as soon as I wake up I have to run to sink with mucus making me gag.. I know its early days but.   

Hi Martie the mucus is awful. I gargled with sparkly water which someone on here suggested as I was waking up every couple of hours coughing my head off.
