Question Bad taste?

Hi there,

I just finished with a brain MRI. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The tough part starts now with the waiting for results.
The dye left an awful taste in my mouth. Does anyone know of a way to get rid of it?

Can't really give you a "real" answer (never had the dye), but my instinct tells me you can start with ice cream, brownies, cupcakes, chocolate cakes and then take it from there...I am glad it's over and will be waiting to read that your as empty headed as I am!!!

Hi Alice
I don't have any experience with that particular
"bad taste", but I found that sour things like
lemon candies helped with the bad taste from
chemo.

As usual, I agree with everything that Madame
Dubois said. She is a wise woman.

Hello, Alice, I wish I could help on this one, but all I can add is that Madame Dubois has some great ideas and Lady Pink has a great idea as well. Love and prayers to you, Bill

The lemon drops are a really good idea...I should have thought of that first, but my mind was in the cookie jar...
