Had 3rd lot of chemo yesterday.
Having trouble since I started with chemo. Like appetite not much. Sick or feeling sick no taste buds and when I am hungry I eat just rice , loads of fruit.
Any body got any ideas what else I could try.

Hi hel I’m afraid it’s trial and error alot of really strong foods like curry taste OK but they might make you sick, try small piece first, i found ginger ale nice for a drink, think about what you can eat after treatment i did, how many more have you got to go,. Good luck

Hello
i can relate. Firstly speak to the oncologist or nurse about your sick feeling, usually you can take extra anti sickness tablet. For food oats porridge with cinnamon and honey, salads lace with lemon juice it cuts through the no taste feeling. I even ate a couple pickled onions just be careful you don’t have too much acid. Beetroot lots of with a burger patty. Avocado with a little seasoning and splash of vinegar. Baked potatoe with baked beans and cheese or tuna seasoned with a tart mayo. There’s something about the acid flavours that make it at least palatable… actually makes it tasty. Veggie dishes par boil add a little cumin and season little salt and peeper gentlevsaute then add some seasame seeds, have with salmon (strong flavour fish). Start small portions to start so you can figure what agrees with you. I also ate lots of cherry, peach or strawberry yoghurts .. you can put that on muselli too.
Hope this helps

No live bacteria survives the process. I never had any issues, but that’s the thing everyone is different and it’s all trial and error until you figure what works for you.
