Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 48 | just got back from my ent doc and he had some good advice. he wants me to look at eating as a rehab program. dont eat for nutrition but to help rehab my mouth and swollowing. don't eat for quanity but for exercising. it doesn't matter how much just that you are eating something. he said i'm getting my nutrition from the peg not what i'm trying to eat. thought I'd pass that idea on. takes alot of stress away.
