My pallet of food is growing . I did notice my sense of smell changed with foods I used to love. Fried foods smell horrible to me. I have eaten salmon and it is good if it is cooked right. Translucent so it goes down easy.

I have always LOVED salmon and I can actually cook it myself and eat it. I do need like a sauce or butter or something with it. But not too strong. A lot of times I use ranch dressing for a sauce with things if it's difficult to eat. I used to live on lake Erie and we fished for perch and walleye. Used to eat it like it was going out of style. After I got sick I cant do it anymore. I do like cracker barrel catfish "fried". And they have pretty good cod. I can't eat a hamburger. It turns to crumbles and will barely go down. White bread is also a no. I can eat breads that are chewy like a bagel or english muffin toasted . regular bread turns into dough. Beef is very difficult for me. I do eat chicken but dark meat is easier. I like it baked and I do make fajitas. I do pretty good with the wraps. But I am about 9 years out. Eggs are almost a total NO. Hard boiled in a salad or deviled I can do some. I had a grilled cheese the other day. That was a first in a long time. All you can do it try and if it isn't doing anything good for you don't push it. Good luck and keep up the salmon eating it's good for you.
