Hi! Yes my salivary glands are working, I never had an issue with that, Thank Goodness. Once I was able to go off the Low Iodine Diet, I wanted pizza so bad. And it was awful. And the Easter ham and pineapples tasted rancid.
I Hope your husband is doing well !!! Thanks for the input, I appreciate it :happy:0 -
Thanks!! I will keep the faith! Did you go thru this too??0

This is awesome news! Thanks!! I thought I was going crazy, because NOBODY told me this would happen. And when I went for my whole body scan, I mentioned it to the tech, and she said she never heard of that happening before. I really thought I was nuts!0

Funny you mentioned that, I brought Greek Yogurt in for lunch (later) today. I'll give it a try. I hope this doesn't last long, I was unable to eat lots of foods during my treatments, and now that I can eat whatever I want, I can't taste anything. Even water tastes AWFUL! Mouthwash and toothpaste taste bad too. It's like I always have a bad bad taste in my mouth.
I have a yoannas machine where you can freeze any type of fruit especially bananas and then turn them into almost a sorbet and its wonderful. you may try and find one to help as well, we've experimented with many types and its fun.
you can do that without a fancy machine. freeze pieces of banana and then blend for a few seconds. maybe that wouldn't taste so fowl.
you may just need to try different foods and see what isn't awful, and then work around that0 -
Hi, Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. Yes, it seems like it's hit or miss. Sometimes I tastes salty things and then all of a sudden things are bland again. The same with sweets. I have to be patient and wait it out.0

As a dental hygienist to be in the future, I recommend you to drink a lot of water and also to keep your mouth hydrated with ex oils, this to prevent caries. I hope your tastebuds will come back to normal sooner rather than later.0

Hi, thanks for the input!! Fortunately, I don't have the metal taste. I've heard that a lot of people have that. I'm afraid that I am OVER SALTING everything, and worried about my blood pressure (which has never been an issue before). I just have to wait and see I guess! :happy:0

I tried :ohwell: it was bland. I will keep trying. Thanks for the input, I appreciate it!!0

that's basically what I've been doing, but I'm worried I'm eating more than I should. I just want to keep trying foods to see if I can taste them. Can't be good for weight loss :frown:0

I know I should drink more water, but water tastes awful. Not to sound gross, but it's like having "morning breath" and drinking water. It's nasty! But I do it anyway. Thanks for the advice!!0
