I eat mostly things that can dissolve in my mouth, or that are soft...cereals, bread, yogurt, Fudgesicles(yum!), rice, scrambled egg whites, etc.
A meal for me is a cup of Cheerios, or a piece of bread or a 1/2 can of gingerale, but I eat these "meals" several times throughout the day. I have learned to eat this way to avoid reflux and of course, additional pain.
I rely on the herb senna to maintain bowel motiliy/bm's...it is not always pleasant, as it can cause severe cramping at times, but I find it works better than anything else I've tried.
Hope this helps some.
Hugs,
Janet
