My experience is probably different because I had no vomiting problem UNTIL the chemo began, so I didn't have to worry as much about kindness to the GI tract.

For me, one noticeable effect of chemo was that many things lost much or all of their taste. My normal preference is for pretty bland food. I'm not the type to order a vindaloo or one of the dishes that has a bright red mark on the menu as a warning. What I found during chemo, though, was that it worked better for me to seek out stronger flavors, because my normal fare was a lot less interesting.

So, while it makes sense that you want to find foods that won't further upset her digestion, you might also need to find foods with stronger tastes -- and, of course, these goals may be in conflict.

Best of luck to you and your mother!
