Hi, have you tried soft boiled eggs?My husband lived on them throughout the treatment and the Carnation VHC. That seemed to go down easily. The eggs were soothing, oatmeal was too rough for him. We also were able to do pancakes that had smooth edges. He soon moved to pasta and spinach. I hope that it all subsides soon. I hope that this helps but we are three months out and he is eating steak, fish, lasagna, omelettes, french toast on soft bread, yogurt and soup. Keep trying things, it will all get better soon. My hubby was very discouraged and bored with his diet but each week he tries something else and now things don't taste like wallpaper paste any longer. Persistence is the word of the day.
