    Default Help about food

    I am wondering if other people are experiencing this. I have a hard time eating meat. I can finally eat a few very small bites and prob 15-20min later I get all phlemy and it feels like the food is stuck. I am trying so hard to get in all my food but doing very badly at it now that I went back to work. Any advice would be helpful. It feels like in order to get all my liquids and proteins in I would have to be swallowing something ALL the time!

    Just saw the dietician today - she said as far as 6 mo out we'd need to have meat with some gravy, mayo, sauce of some kind. Are you trying to eat it dry? Perhaps some papaya enzyme or bromelain to help digest?
