A little update on my husband that is struggling

Hi Thanks for the update. 
If he can eat food but finds it difficult because if the taste then try herbs and spices. Obviously anything hot is out if the question but you can add spice without heat. Try cumin and coriander. The advantage of those is that you can taste “taste” them by blowing back through the nose while chewing. 
You could try pickle. I never had any problem with home made branston or vinegar 

Garlic can be hot as can ginger but you could see if he can dunk ginger biscuits in his tea. 
Just experiment with herbs and spices. Just avoid chilli 

 RadioactiveRaz  has links to a couple of recipe books. I’ll leave it to her to post them. I always lose the links.

You could look at this. This lady follows my blog and I think her book is available free on kindle. Easy Follow Easy Swallow: Transitioning off a PEG tube back to oral eating includes recipes written by a head and neck cancer survivor. www.amazon.co.uk/.../ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_PD76KJAC1B3CYB9C35BH

Thanks Dani 

I will certainly get him to try the things you mentioned, it’s definitely about experimenting and see what he likes, thanks for your advice. x

Hi I took the manta food is fuel and eat to live not live to eat. I derived no pleasure from food for a good 6  month   Try to think nursery food school dinners and puddings. He need nutrition to aid recovery treatment is brutal and it takes your  muscle mass which needs replacing. Took me over 15 month to start putting weight in and I was eating 2500 calories most days. Think  j double cream with soup poached eggs on toast yes toast is easier than bread. Home  made soups are still my go to at lunchtime. I used to have 6 small meals a day eatung from a tea plate as the sight of too much food can put him off. 
Protein  yoghurts  are good Arla do one. Toasted crumpets or fruit tea cakes  with grated g cheese grilled 500 calories. Dunk a Jaffa cake in tea or coffee. 
Look at the links you might get ideas.
