How to get rid of metallic taste during chemo treatments?

POSSIBLE RELIEF FROM METALLIC TASTE Hi all, I wanted to leave a suggestion here for anyone going through treatments and dealing with the horrible metallic taste. I suffered from it during my chemo treatments and my Oncologist had me start taking 10mg of Zinc a day. She said the treatment depletes zinc stores and your taste buds need zinc or something to that effect. Well after about a week or so I noticed a MARKED difference in taste! Don't get me wrong food still tasted pretty bad for me and I struggled with eating but the metallic taste being gone offered at least some much appreciated relief! It apparently does not work for everyone and absolutely 100% check with your doctor before starting to take Zinc but it might be worth a try!
