Hi Bobd,
Also check for fungi infection, which will make your mouth really sensitive and hurt when you try and eat.
Make sure you are treating Dry Mouth with the Biotene products.
Yes, warm water is better than cold at this point is what I remember. Not hot not cold just room temperature. What ever you do keep swallowing!! Even if it is a sip of water every 15 minutes. Try anything you can. Try oatmeal a small amount with milk. Yogurt, cream of wheat, Ice Cream, Jell-o.
I could only take about a Tablespoon full at 2 months. I thought it was great! It all takes time so do not expect to much all at once. Every month is a change and an improvement. At 3 months you will start seeing more.
Take Care,
Diane
