At first everything tasted like crap and I couldn't handle fizz or citrus. It almost seemed that everything I liked tasted the worst with the exception of milk. Now 2+ years post Tx and I have ZERO limitations. I don't think my saliva nor my taste is 100% like it was pre Tx but at least everything I use to enjoy, I can enjoy once again. This didn't happen over night so please be patient and see what happens to you.
