Hi
Due to a car accident, our child is on an all liquid diet. We could use ideas, other than what the doc gave us. We have learned how to freeze some things, like vegetable juice and then he drinks it through a straw, or eats it in small frozen pieces, small enough to get through his mouthwires. Jaw is wired shut. In the hospital, he had nutrition through feeding tubes. Please give ideas for a balanced diet! Also, we are having trouble getting enough calories into him. I'm scared. He has to do this for 4 weeks! The docs say he won't starve. I'm not so sure!

Fruit smoothies are good- use a lot of yogurt/milk to make it thin enough to drink through a straw.
Vegetable broth is also good. You can also puree soups with chicken and veggies.

Has your doctor suggested some high quality whey protein? Trader Joe's has some that's organic. I have a line of products which are excellent nutritionally, but only recommended for children with permission from their doctors. If you IM or email me, I'll send you a link. How old is your son? I would make chicken soup, simmered with a variety of vegetables, cook until everything is pretty soft, blend it completely, and let him have a large straw to sip it through, still warm. You can even have brown rice in there for extra fiber and calories, as long as it's blended well so he doesn't choke. Use chicken breast, chicken stock, garlic, onion, celery, cabbage, carrot, turnip, spinach or arugula, potato, peas, green beans, and squash. Make it nutrient dense. Season to taste. Trader Joe's '21-seasoning salute' is excellent and kids like it.
I'd love to hear from you. poppinoff274@yahoo.com
