I wish I could say my appetite has lessened on Gleevec. :) But, alas, no. I

think it is worse because I know that if I am craving ice cream for

instance... I cannot have that after dinner because I take Gleevec in the

evening... and ice cream is NOT a food to take Gleevec with. :) So, then I

eat ice cream before dinner... then dinner... then have something carb

ridden at night to take the Gleevec with.

Luckily, I have found that a 100 calorie pack of popcorn and a glass of milk

is usually enough to take the meds with. As long as I had 'some' carbs with

dinner. However, if I had a salad and steak for dinner... I need to eat

substantially more. Ugh!

My Granny is on Gleevec 400 and she says nothing tastes good. She has NO

appetite. She eats a little bit but, not much. Every now and then, she will

have a good appetite but that may be once a week. I thought maybe it was her

age. She is 81 and I know sometimes you will just lose your appetite with

age. Maybe it is the Gleevec.

[ ] Re: Change in food taste, Sprycell

I'm sorry I have no info regarding Sprycell as I take Gleevec.I

have noticed that my food no longer tastes good and nothing ever

sounds good either.Food is just Blag for me now.I have been on

Gleevec now for 8 months and I seem to be experiencing more and more

fatigue and diahrea(sp) as time passes my side effecy=ts are becoming

more intense and frequent.Not sure why but will ask on the 3rd of Feb

when I see my Dr.again.I am interested in hearing others responses

regarding this issue.

Good Luck
