DonnaJean,
OralBalance gel isn't good for me, either.Drinking water so far is the best tool to keep the mouth moist for some time. Don't compare yourself with your husband who is much weaker now and the stomach can be very sensitive to any food he takes. I won't say that having a diarrhea and throwing up is normal but don't panic. Rosie is right that the best thing to do now is to see the doctor as soon as possible. Never wait until you have all your questions answered. By the way, Rosie, how is Heather doing these days? Has she started chemo yet? My best wishes to you all.
