Hi Deano,

I used my tube for all nourishment, but did start trying to eat things around 3 months. (I think) My first real success was oat meal. It is easy on the mouth and throat. I just did small amounts and ate every 2 or 3 hours. Jell-o, yogurt, cream of wheat & rice, soups.

Also keep an eye out for fungi infections. They can make your mouth sting and hurt more.

Congratulations on getting through treatment.

Not sure of any way of speeding up the process. I noticed big difference at 4 mo. and 6 mo. It all takes time. I am at a year and I have to be careful of eating meat. I do real well with Shrimp, Turkey,chicken dark meat. It is all trial and error. Everyone is different. I can not eat spicy foods yet. Some people can.

Take care,
Diane
