Well being a former alcy I can tell you that puking NEVER stopped me from drinking but I still won't eat scrambled eggs after losing some in the early post Tx. I would rather kill myself rather than drink Boost ot Ensure (blah!) - although some here actually like it.

I got violently ill from eating portobello mushrooms one time and I'm eating them again (I have to admit that I did ease into it).

Sounds like an inverted Pavlov's dog thing to me (heh heh).

Seriously what my chemo preparation pamphlet said was to eat a light meal, no greasy, spicey or hard to digest foods and nausea could be minimized. It usually isn't a problem until some hours later anyway.

Don't drink alcohol during chemo.
