I was benefiting from some of the posts of a similar topic which remain nameless especially if posters were lashing out. We do not have enough time for that.

There were a couple of folks who expressed similar issues with eating and I really enjoyed following the discussions and so much wanted to say I too have trouble eating. I can east small bites spoons of yogurt or bit of soft something, but it�s just not enough (3000 cal) so I must use my PEG and push Ensure H-Cal.

John, the trouble I have is the pain in the throat. I was diagnosed with SCC of the tonsil and all during radiation (35 treatments) and 3 rounds cisplatin, I had mouth sores which burned a great deal.

My last rad was 10 Jul and my mouth sores have gone away. Yea. I can take bites but when the food gets to the back of the throat ooh it hurts. It burns. When food passes it stops.

Other problem I have is I cannot take much nutritional drink. It fills me up very quickly. One can per feeding with water is hard to finish. I immediately get the full feeling. I burp gas of the drink. The drink is at the back of my throat. I have choked, coughed, sour stomach makes me sick and I have vomited all which makes it hard to keep food down. I wish I could meet the goal of 3000 cal a day but it ain�t happening, mostly because my body just now cannot take that much volume.
So I invite those familiar with these issues to let me know what they think or how they dealt with a similar issue.
