Hi All,

I am 4 months out of radiation therapy (for tonsil cancer with 2 lymph nodes), and my taste buds have come back quite a bit.

Due to dry mouth, however, I usually drink lots of water when eating - unfortunately a rather poor saliva substitute. And for many food items water seriously degrades the flavor and texture.

Does anyone have any suggestions for other liquids to take with food which would be better than water?

Thanks in advance,

Chris
