Question:

Food you can eat when u have TMJ?

I am not supposed to chew much, (at all) OR open my mouth wide. WHAT CAN I EAT?


Answers:

yogurt, mashed potatoes, protein drinks, soups, macaroni salad without any hard vegetables, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, egg salad, white rice cooked with extra water to make it softer .

Do not open your mouth to eat sandwiches or any hard foods.

Here's one of my recipes that would help you with something different to eat.

1-tablespoon olive oil
2 cups chopped onion
2 cups chopped carrot

1 1/2 teaspoons salt-free seasoning blend
1-teaspoon salt
