Ron,
I am five years out, and after a couple of years I began to enjoy the taste of almost all of the foods that I have always liked. Soft drinks taste like syrup and candy is too chewy, but I can taste and enjoy steaks, Mexican food, pizza, desserts...really everything that is not too spicy. So even though I have the dry mouth, I really enjoy the taste of good food. Yesterday I went to one of my favorite funky hamburger and fries joints...a local favorite where even Bush Sr. and Lyle Lovett eat, and it was great.

So keep the faith...it really can get better. Once the taste returns, the desire to eat greatly increases and makes it worth the effort.

Take care,
Danny G.
