My husband

My husband has been complaining about a metallic taste in his mouth after chemo. Usually Lemon seems to clear it a bit for him, but he said this time the lemon is not even working. Any one have any suggestions?

Metal Taste
Try pickles, perferably dill. I would take the slices and just suck on them until I had sucked all the juice out. They are hard to digest, so I would spit it out and get another one. I tried just the juice but it didn't seem to work for me as well. Best of luck

My onc...
.....actually said for me not to use regular silver utensils also, she said to use plastic utensils, as it would make the food taste weird on chemo.

try ginger
I would grind up some fresh ginger and put it in hot water with a squeeze of lemon, works great for the metallic taste and is great for nausea too
