| Mandarin & Mango flavor |
One of the side-effects of chemo that doesn't make one sick, but takes some of the fun out of life is the loss of taste buds! Fun aside, the dangerous part is that it can cause us to limit the amount of water we drink... and it's vitally important to maintain a high intake of fluids (non-caffeinated) during the entire course of chemotherapy. Well, for me, there are many times when water, which we think of as having no taste, becomes difficult to down. It feels like oil in our mouths. So, we are on a constant search for something to cut through that oily "taste" and be able to enjoy drinking fluids enough to keep on drinking. Cranberry juice may help for a few days, then I find it no longer is appealing. Lemonade can work for a while, and then, oooops - there it goes, no longer pleasant and refreshing. Here's one I recently found that seems to be having some lasting pleasure for me. It's a box of those little packets you just add to a glass or bottle of water. So far so good, so thought I would share it!
