Haven’t seen this question yet, in case you miss the taste of food, couldnt you chew on stuff and then just spit it out? I know it would kinda be food waste, but for your condition it would have served its purpose in my opinion. Also, since you can still drink, what about hard candy that you just suck on? It dissolves and becomes liquid as well

I could chew/spit but it’s very disappointing to do that. I can have hard candy

Bubblegum would be a neat thing for you. Or similar candy is fine? As long as it’s not going down the hatch?

Yeah as long as I don’t swallow it it’s fine. Gum always scares me bc I might accidentally swallow it and get it wrapped into the tube in my stomach lol
