[QUOTE="Harebrain, post: 1531733, member: 149874"] I need any advice that I can get here. In about four weeks time I'm going on holiday with my wife to Barcelona. I have a number of health and preference issues which restrict what I can eat. Some years ago I had treatment for cancer of the tongue which has left me with restricted mouth opening and dry mouth (my salivary glands are now defunct). The dry mouth means that I cannot eat things like salads as I just cannot swallow things like that. Everything has to be moist and usually smothered in mayonnaise. Now, I'm not keen on fish although I have been eating battered cod or haddock recently (but not in Barcelona I suspect). Also hot (as in chili type hot) foods are a nono as my mouth will not stand them. Alcohol incidentally has the same effect. I keep to a medium low carb diet (around 120g a day normally) however my exercise is limited as I have a chronic back problem. My T2 by the way was brought on by long term steroid useage leading up to and following a liver transplant whose medication also allowed the cancer to take hold. So, my question is, can anyone give me advice as to what I might reasonably eat when in Spain? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
