I am quite fortunate that I am able to eat most things still (even if I don't care to). Almost all taste is gone, and the few isolated tastes left seem strange when removed from their seasonings. A few weeks ago, I could taste raw cabbage in my coleslaw, but not the mayo, carrot and raisins, so it just tasted odd.

Now the big challenge is finding food I can eat without being disgusted. Did anyone find any foods less objectionable during this no-palate phase? I can plow through breakfast OK most days, but lunch & dinner are a challenge. Salad was a trial- ugh.

I do get an occasional "popcorn hull stuck on the back of tongue" feeling (with no popcorn consumed), and this can be a trigger to throwing up. Last night, I got an ibuprofen gelcap stuck on the fork in my throat, and lost most of my carefully consumed dinner in the wake of that.

Thanks all,
John D.
