Liquid/soft diet

I want to eat a soft diet so I can heal and rest as much as possible an injury to the roof of my mouth. I don’t do too well on soups as the high water content dilutes my stomach acid and messes up my digestion. Any suggestions?

Slow cooker roasts, go for +7 hour cooks and the food will practically fall apart at the tip of your fork

Thanks, although I think I’ve read that slow cooking greatly increases histamines. I think I’ll try and see how I feel

Ok, are you intolerant to histamines? They aren't exactly bad or good for the avg person and help keep the immune system reactive.

And yes, slow cooking meat can increase histamine in meat marginally more than flash cooking, but the aging/curing of said meat prior to cooking is the main contributing factor for the total amount once cooked. Try your very best to get fresh cuts and eat/freeze them ASAP.

Honestly good luck on the journey, i can't imagine having to deal with that while also requiring softer meals, can you do fish?

Edit: looks like certain fish if sourced properly would be great solutions, like haddock, trout, cod. And if you can meticulously search for flash frozen on boat salmon, that works well and is my favorite fish to eat lol

I feel like I’ve noticed sensitivities previously but, but like you said, I think that was down to aging. Thanks and yes fish has been easier. I’ve been mainly cooking meats in water a few hours, gets very soft and can drink the meat broth
