I feel like everything tastes like cardboard now, and it's driving me nuts! Has anyone experienced this too?

      Yaaas, taste bud problems are real. I usually suck on ice cubes or ice pops and it helped reduce the metallic taste.

      Hey girrl! So, I discovered this thing called 'flavor enhancers' during my treatment. They're like special seasonings that can help bring back the flavor in your food. I swear by them!

      I felt like some things tasted like gasoline or like they were rancid! But some things were fine. Sorry to say it took me a long while to be able to eat some things again. I'm still having a tough time with fish. Anyone else have this happen?

      Don't even get me started on the metallic taste.. ugh. My taste buds were totally messed too. I tried everything to get my taste back, but honestly, it took time. Try eating small, frequent meals and experiment with spices and seasonings to give your food some flavor.
