How can a person eat with no tongue?!


Question: How can a person eat with no tongue!?
Very strange question, i know, but i'm reading a book where the main character's tongue gets gnawed off, and i'm just wondering how difficult it would be to eat with no tongueWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
chewing!.!.!. real hard! without the tongue, no tastebuds, hard time to produce saliva which has enzymes to make it easier to burn break down the food!.

Its going to be very hard!. try not using your tongue when eating and see what it is!?

for the dating part, kissing would be bad but you can't invovle any tongue action!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it would be possible, but it would be very likely to choke!.!.!.
so you'd have to eat foods like mashed potato and stuff rather than steak and stuff that might go down your throat, cos the tongue can help the food go down in many waysWww@Answer-Health@Com

If desperate, there's always such a thing as intravenous food tubes!.
However, just because one does not have a tongue doesn't mean they can't eat!. I think they could probably eat pudding and stuff like that!. Maybe even other food, since their teeth still work!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm unsure if this is humanly possible at all because the food has nothing to push it down your throat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have no tongue, I use a blender and a funnel!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A lady I knew had hers removed due to cancer so she had to have tube feedings into her stomach!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

As long as you have your tongue you shouldn't be worried about it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

as long is you still have your teeth, its just like always, i guess!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
