Still to this day I need what I call food lube to help moisturize food to facilitate easier swallowing. My fridge is never without mild salsa, mustard. Ketchup, BBQ sauce and light Italian and ranch salad dressing. Not to mention, I wouldnt even attempt eating without a drink within reach. It's I guess the new normal. It's doable. No complaints here.
