[flagbabyds]

Hey,

I need some ideas for soft food cause I have tmj and have to just eat soft food

[celiac3270]

Please excuse my ignorance on this , but what is tmj?

Oh, soft food:

• Yogurt
  
• Smoothies
  
• Soup
  
• Jello
  
• Applesauce
  
• Pudding
  
• Soft canned fruit (like mandarin oranges)
  
• Grits (Arrowhead Mills has a cereal, Rice and Shine). You could make it really soupy kinda and then it would be very soft
  
• Peanut butter?
  
• Frozen yogurt or ice cream
  

I'll think of some other stuff, but this is all I can come up with right now.

The TMJ:

"TMJ" stands for temporomandibular  joint, or the jaw joint. The TMJs are the small joints in front of each ear that attach the lower  jaw (mandible) to the skull. They allow you to perform such functions as opening and closing your mouth,  chewing, speaking, swallowing, etc.

TMJ Diseases/Disorders:

TMJ diseases and disorders refer to a complex and poorly understood set of conditions,  manifested by pain the the area of the jaw and associated muscles and limitations in the ability to make the normal movements of speech, facial expression, eating, chewing, and swallowing. Conditions that routinely  affect other joints in the body, such as arthritis and trauma, also affect the TM joint.

Are you on a soft food diet forever or are you healing?

canned tuna flaked (well) and mixed with avocado - good fat content too.

you might also consider getting a hand blender so you can make pureed soups. for instance, cooking carrots in broth until they're soft and then blending into a smooth puree is tasty!
