Just in case you should ever find yourself in the bizarre situation of having ulcers on your throat, allow me to offer the follow hard-won advice regarding suitable beverages and foodstuffs:
Orange Juice – I know you feel you need Vitamin C, but trust me, this is not the way
Diet Coke – OK I have no idea if this would work, but every time I get near a bottle I just see the word PAIN
Coffee – I’m not so ill that I’d try something that disgusting
Luke Warm Water – never too hot, never too cold and sip gently. Grimace through the pain – you need those fluids.
Turkey Sandwich (soft white bread) – even with the crusts removed this is just too much. However if you remove the turkey and gum the bread/marg/mayo combination for a while it will eventually slip down OK
Soup – ok if a) smooth, b) lukewarm and c) unseasoned
Pasta – you know it looks soft, but…
Ice Cream – now you’d think that would be good wouldn’t you, but strangely it leaves the throat raw and painful
Plain Omelette – the top is OK, but the slightest well cooked bit can be problematic.
Bananas – get ‘em nice and ripe and you’ll be OK
But the handsdown winner? Ready Brek. Warm, smooth and can be made in the microwave – what more could you ask.
I’m not sure it covers all the foodgroups, but it's always good to know you have at least achieved 85% of the recommended daily amount of Pantothenic Acid.
