Regarding the return of taste.... As my husband lost taste, things began to taste "vile" to him - even water! So.... as the taste buds come back (he's got 7 more rads to go!), does one go thru the "vile" period before things taste normal again?

Just curious, as I am trying to figure out what eating is going to look like once he can. Thanks, y'all!
