As to eating, you need to stay away from the spicy stuff. If your tongue is still burning, has you been checked for thrush? What are you doing for teeth? Can you chew?
If it now summer and all those nice veggies and fruits will available. Try some of them- have some fresh blueberries or strawberries in heavy cream or yogurt or on pancakes. I could eat tomatoes but some find the them too acidy early on. Keep sampling stuff. Just because it didn't work this week dosn't mean it will or won't next week.
Take care,
Eileen
