But I have a Lower Esophageal Sphincter that pretty much won't open, and none, I repeat NONE of my doctors involved think that a life on Ensure/Boost is any kind of problem. And none of them has even the courtesy to be embarrassed. I found here while looking for blenderized recipes (so that some nutrients, at least, could "leak" through), but also found huge populations of peeps that can't swallow or swallow well, or swallow regular food facing the same cavalier/callous attitude. ANY shot fired over their bows is a good shot as far as I'm concerned.<br /><br />AND ~~ yep, massive dollars have been spent, and there is STILL no agreement on what's good: the AHA and the ADA are *still* pushing diets that will kill surely, if slowly, the patients they claim to be "protecting." ACK!<br /><br />Meanwhile, I love coming here. An unexpected bit of love and light and cheer!puddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472602120015210301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326616785511879092.post-2154188073309503292012-01-21T05:29:36.838+08:002012-01-21T05:29:36.838+08:00as always, so beautifully put. my former editor/po...as always, so beautifully put. my former editor/poeto-phile self is swooning with joy. <br />but one small thing: if you take out the "tube" part of it, then massive dollars *have* been spent on researching nutrition. it's just that one little piece of plastic that gets in the way of applying that knowledge to all people.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812716670021878946noreply@blogger.com
