Cathy: My problem, at this point in treatment, is everything I put into my mouth tastes like foil coated cardboard. Ensure and the many store brands are excellent and they are my primary source of nutrition, but, I have a gag reflex due to taste. It usually takes a while to get down a can of the slime. Although I have a gastroenterologist waiting in the wings with his "TUBE." I refuse to have the procedure, It's a psychological thing with me....
