Solid Free Diet Suggestions

abandonded · 21 August 2017 at 4:41PM

For the foreseeable future I have to refrain from eating all solids and wonder if any members can come up with some suggestions for a solid-free diet. One drawback is that I cannot eat cheese in any shape or form and another is that my liquid diet is also :beer: free.

This sounds a bit worrying!

Anyway, smoothies? Well-blended soups?

Mushy peas and blitzed in a blender, add some salt, vinegar and Mint sauce for taste.

Passata sauce (smooth blended) tomato with basil and tyme.

Corned beef hash blended into a smooth paste form all the taste yet no lumps if blitzed well.

Dessert Banana and raspberry (or strawberry) blended in with yogurt.

Presumably that's on medical advice? Did they not advise or prescribe anything?

Hopefully you're you under the care of a nutritionist or dietician who can guide you with this regime?

If you must refrain only from all solids (and can easily exclude cheese) then could you not prepare a regular balanced meal and liquidise/blend it, adding a little stock or water if it's a bit thick as you would when weaning infants? Fruit smoothies, vegetable purees (very trendy and cheffy at the moment!) and vegetable juices could also add some variety. Soups are always a great idea and most can be pureed with great success.

Some of the online ready meal services who cater for special needs offer pureed complete meals like these which might offer some inspiration; all are pureed and shaped to look like the foods used: https://www.wiltshirefarmfoods.com/ready-meals/puree-classic

Smoothies sounds good! Tried blending soups but there always seems to be a tiny bit of solids that escapes the blending and ends up choking me.

Have tried all the things I've capitalised, and these give me great problems. The others I will most certainly try.

1. It was the advice given by radiology when during a barium swallow X-ray, they had to stop because the liquid passed into my lungs instead of the stomach.
2. Avoid solids at all costs because of pneumonia risk.

Have you seen your GP since this though?

Medical and or dieticians input is needed.

1. I'm not but will be, (I hope) after seeing my consultant at the end of next week.
2. My liquidising, particularly with soups, never seems to remove the tiny particles that cause me to choke or to go into fits of coughing. That said, the smoothies and fruit juices I will most certainly try.
3. The online ready meal services I will also give some thought to.

1. No. Only found out on Friday past. GP referred me to maxiofacial where I got a camera up my nose. Nothing was found so I was referred to endoscopy where they couldn't get the camera down. Then to the barium swallow which they had to stop immediately.
2. I know.
