I have been on Gleevic for almost 2 yrs.  I find that not only does food not taste right but some things do not smell right. Everything smells really strong too. Some things that I don't even want to smell I can smell now too!!!! Gleevic also leaves a bad taste in my mouth after I take it. It lasts for a couple hours & nothing gets rid of it. I am hungry but I can't seem to think of anything that sounds good to eat. Then when I fix something and start eating it, sometimes the food just turns my stomach between the taste and the smell. Everyone else says it tastes just fine.  I have just certain foods like chicken & steak that I spice up just right and it always seems to taste pretty good.  Gleevic changes your tastes for things. So it's like starting over again finding the things that you like & taste good to you. Eating the small meals are a lot better than eating 1 or 2 big meals. Seems like when you eat a large meal you feel real bloated and sick to your stomach afterwards. Then you don't feel like eating anything for the rest of the day. I take Gas-X after I eat if I feel bloated and that seems to help quite a bit. I really don't know of any foods that you are not supposed to eat when you are on Gleevic-just don't eat any that make you sick to your stomach everytime you eat them or the ones that really seem to bother you everytime you eat them. I know that ice cream really seems to bother me all of a sudden. I hope things get better for your husband. Certain side effects from the Gleevic did get better as time went on for me-taste was not one of them. I seem to have lost my appetite along with it. I lost 50 lbs. right off the bat but have leveled out on the weight loss. I am really trying not to lose another lb. It's difficult when things don't sound or taste good & you have to kind of make yourself eat! He's not alone!  GOOD LUCK! I will be praying that things get better for him. jill
