Eat moist foods such as soups, casseroles, quiches and puddings. Foods may taste differently to you or you may have a temporary aversion to some foods. It may take two or three months or more before your taste sensations return. The tongue's lining and taste buds are susceptible to radiation. A decrease in saliva also causes changes in taste.
Many people find that the taste of meat, fish, poultry and eggs changes a lot.
Instead of eating these foods, use other high-protein foods such as cottage cheese, milk, ice cream, and peanut butter. You may have to increase the amount of sugar to achieve a sweet taste. Usually the taste of fresh fruit does not substantially change. Meats may be more palatable if marinated in sweet fruit. Other seasonings such as lemon juice or mint may help with taste changes.
