John's nausea was so bad that he could only handle certain brands of bottle water and ginger ale. So i understand about being picky. We would use peppermint oil in his mask when he walked the halls of the hospital to mask the smells. A little goes a very long way. Sometimes we would switch it to lemon. You have to be very careful with peppermint.

You just have to keep trying different things.
