I would have to guess that it was over 2 years post Tx before even pepper didn't feel too hot. lol Each of us certainly can be different in all respects of our recovery so my advice to all is to keep trying things that don't taste right or are uncomfortable. I'm not suggesting try them every day but try something and then try again in a couple of months. Just don't get discouraged. Heck I even saw a slight improvement in my saliva and taste in my 24th month post Tx.
