I finished tx Aug 24th. I still can't eat onions, garlic, pepper... i can however eat low acid tomato sauces. and fresh tomatoes. Just think of the acid levels in things. Also drying things like avacadoes, grapes, some fruits juices. Your saliva glands are not working all that well right now but they will come back. eventually. There is mouth gel that you can use before bed. It's called Bioten here or Xylomelts that help stimulate the glands. Sugarless candies can help although with the free flap surg, and having my teeth pulled I can't manage the candies. But the Xylomelts are tiny and they stick to he inside of your cheek. Everyday just keep trying different foods your mouth will continue to heal and things with change.
