Food Aversions
UpdatedMy mom has only been on Xalkori for a few weeks and since switching to it everything she eats has a sweet flavor and turns to a disgusting oily crisco mush. She's struggling to eat or keep anything down. Has anyone else had this experience? What are you eating that is working for you?

Hello, Rebecca! How is your mom doing? Has there been any change?
According to the FDA, it can cause a change in taste as a side effect, along with nausea, dizziness, headache, and decreased appetite.
However, if it is affecting her so severely that she can barely eat, she should consult her doctor. It is also very important that she take in proper nutrition.
