Hi All
I found this information about suggested foods for various situations eg nausea, constipation etc. Sorry I can't find the website. It gave me astarting place for suggestions my ex might like to consider when he is feeling like this but of course much comes down to what his taste buds fancy at any given time. Sometimes it is so difficult to think of what to offer. Ensure with icecream is a popular standby at present.
Anyway here it is for what it's worth.

This site has some great receipes especially the drinks which are a good change from Ensure and Sustagen and fortejuice etc which you can get very bored with.

This is a fantastic idea. Would it be better suited in cancer pain- my worry people wont see it here? or general. (jim?)
The idea is great Dawin, I read many post asking for foods, etc. This would help many.

Perhaps you could have an information section on the site with various headings such as food suggestions for a sore mouth etc etc.
There are a number of questions that are asked over and over. Have you ever considered a frequently asked questions section?
Gosh I'm good at coming up with more work for you Jim:)
