Hi Rachel @racheldmark

As @kariulrich said share what you feels is comfortable both for you and your uncle. You wont need to talk to your uncle if you have access to his records. Something else I thought of, if your uncle has a blender at home you can increase his meal size by blending his food and turning it into soup. Blend cooked white rice, potato no skin and chicken add the chicken stock to thin down to a soup consistency. Hopefully he will be able to eat more and it will be more delicate on his digestive system.

For breakfast you could blend some boiled eggs add a little vegetable stock to thin down and spread on white bread, (most vegetable stock has zero dietary fiber.)

@ukmalsman @kariulrich

I am back in NM! To help connect the dots, I asked Lou for his Mayo Clinic user name, @ruudolpho

He is reading your emails and responses along with me, and we are both very touched with all of the information you have given us! I went grocery shopping and picked up more goodies to try. I just served Lou his first bowl of instant mashed potatoes - with butter, coconut/almond milk, and chicken stock - he liked it and he said his pain is very low! This is encouraging.

Is all fiber a big NO-NO? I just bought some baby food of pureed apples and chicken and will hold off on trying it out if it may be an issue.
