Food Suggestions for Days I Can’t Chew?

Help

when i’m in a flare, chewing only makes things soo much worse. coming out of a flare, i have a few days where im just flat out scared of chewing as im scared it will trigger it again.

i’ve resorted to things like boost that do get me by nutritionally and ive even had an ng tube a few times (not for TN reasons) that kept me going but sometimes i still feel hungry simply because my brain thinks im just drinking, not really eating.

does anyone have suggestions of non solid foods that are specifically not hot or cold?

anything that is maybe good mashed up?

i’ve tried things like broth and liquid soups that seem to work and especially things like baby food and applesauce are really nice but is there anything that anyone eats that aren’t the typical “non solid food diet” that i could try out?

thank you for any suggestions!
