Helps with these side effects: Taste alterations, constipation and nausea
When temperatures are chilly, the festive flavors of this spiced-hot cider can be a delicious way to increase your liquid calories and help with nausea. While this recipe makes four servings, any extra cider you make can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated later.
This cider is a good choice for patients advised against drinking cold beverages because of the type of chemotherapy they are receiving. If hot beverages irritate your stomach, let this drink cool to room temperature before drinking.
Before making drastic changes to your diet, be sure to talk with your care team or nutritionist. While these recipes may relieve common symptoms, your treatment plan may include following a specific diet. If you have questions about what’s safe to eat or drink, your care team is ready to help.
