How about flan at mexican restaurants? I love flan! I have not had swallowing therapy or even barium swallowing tests. I do not have teeth and no hope to get any every so chewing isnt easy for me. Im missing left cheek and half my lower jaw which further complicates my eating issues. I can only eat certain things which I feel I am lucky I can get down so Im satisfied with what I am able to eat. Some people arent so fortunate.

Please add a signature when you can. Click on the "My Stuff" tab then on the drop down menu select "Edit Profile". Scroll to the bottom and type your info in the white box and submit. It really is a huge help when getting to know new members and offering advice. Thanks!
