Thanks Tina, yes pain is a real turn off to wanting to try and eat. I've seen the speech therapist for the first time since I last posted and she also agreed it made sense to lay off if the pain is that bad. Some days for 3 or 4 hours I could just bang my head against a wall (I don't as it happens, but could!!).
Have you found raspberries to be helpful yourself? When I could eat more, in my ready brek or by juicing, I've found melon, pears and blueberries to be good and not too irritating. Sally (under my intro post) has advised me to leave the skin on when juicing melon which I wouldn't have thought of myself but will now try when I next feel bold enough to juice.
Bye
Lynne
