Had to keep a pretty bland diet due to stomach upset. Stay away from spicy or acid foods. I usually had to watch what I ate for the first 4-5 days after chemo then as the effects wore off I could go back to a more regular diet. Anything I ate after chemo I tended not to like after I finished, would bring back that metallic taste, or remind me of the nausea, so don't eat your favorite foods.
