Helen,
Apple juice was one the FIRST things I could drink even when everything else burned my tongue. Shows just how different everyone is, unless they make it differently down under. I did take Zinc Sulphate after radiation recommended by dietician to help heal and improve taste.

Take care,
Eileen
