Dementia and Not Eating: Very concerned

@tamarab I am glad Sue and I could be of help and that Burt is doing better today. Hard boiled eggs are fabulous so that is great. In keeping with the theme of a rotating food calendar, perhaps this would also be of interest when you are struggling to think of new/other options. There is even a PDF handout you can download.

Please stick around and share Burt's food journey with us and so other members can find support from you! Will you share if you try anything new on the attached food list as well?

The food zigzag brought us to happier territory. He is indulging in smoked sablefish aka "real food" and potato salad and bananas. The potato salad was banished tonight in favor of baked potatoes again and lemon tarts are back on his menu. Also he tried a little angel hair pasta so... much better and less worrisome for me for now.

Sure. He was eating shredded deli turkey but refuses it now. Did I mention that he has set up a schedule for me to also get him madeleines twice a week and two lemon tarts for the other 2 days when his carer is with him. He works hard to set up these schedules for himself.
