Thanks Steve for all the info.
I am staying away from tomatoes for now.
For some reason I am really doing well this week with swallowing. Not in the morning. My mouth & throat seem to be swollen.

I have been able to eat a little bit better. Mind you I only have a little and one meal by mouth. I still use my peg. It does bother my mouth & tounge a little.. but I put that gel stuff in my mouth to help. I think that stinging feeling is getting better as well.

My goal is to be off my peg tube in another month. Don't get me wrong I have become very attached to my peg. It is so easy for me to keep it. That is why I must try and eat on my own soon.

I even had a mixed drink this week (very weak of course) We were celebrating some good news. I was surprised I could drink it! I only had the one. I really do not think I am ready for that right now.

Ok, bye for now....... DM
