I have been out of radiation treatment since 8/3/09 and do avoid spicy foods as they cause disconfort to my still sensitive mouth. Sweating from eating spicy food is not new to me, but much more pronounced since tx. My eating is challenged by reduced saliva, and the resulting advoidance of all bread is keeping my weight down, 25 lbs since beginning radiation tx and holding steady. Alcohol intake is also reduced. All in all, its a good thing.
