Thanks for posting your nutrition advice, Eric. It looks like you have been doing alot of work on this subject.

Please make sure anyone considering the above to be in touch with your physician before undertaking any diet changes. Especially if you are taking medications, check for interactions. Herbs can cause unwanted reactions with some medications so be safe and check before taking anything new.

Here is a list of easy to eat foods. They are softer and usually have a smoother texture which makes eating them easier. Im another person who eats yogurt. I eat 3 or 4 of them a day. I usually eat oatmeal or cream of wheat too. Its very hard for people with eating issues to take in enough calories unless they drink the ensures or similar formulas (in my opinion they taste awful). I also try to eat mashed up cottage cheese every day since its high in protein.
