Coughing

[weegiz12345]

Hi My main issue with the coughing and swallowing problems we have tended to be with appples. The main reason I have them is for fibre as they tend to be the best thing to keep me regular sorry TMI. I found that eating apples standing up has resulted in my having fewer coughing through eating them. Not sure if standing up gives the apples a more direct route into my stomach. Does this help anyone else? Try it with the food that makes you cough the most and let me know.

😋 I love Russet apples Louise, I can manage eating them if they’re cut into thin slices, but biting into one is a no-no because I have a fixed brace top and bottom 🙄

You might get the same amount of fibre with cloudy Apple Juice 🤔

Tried cloudy apple juice to no effect maybe time to try again :-)Thanks for your reply

I eat kiwis. They're much softer and definitely keep me regular. Also loads of vitamins in them

What about sticking them in th oven for 10 mins with some cinnamon and trehalose on top? Our son (and our other two) love that.

Kiwi definitely works for Ryan!

Hi do you eat the skins, I found you could eat the whole fruit but the skins iritated my throat, not sure about just the insides.

thank you for suggestion. My coughing starts when I lie down.. not just on my back but also on my side either on recliner or in bed. I can only stop by turning onto my tummy.

I find raw apples make my stomach bloat but I do microwave bramley apples with sultanas and cinnamon . I have spoonful of prunes on my oats in the morning too,

Thanks Patsy think I'll try the prunes in oats

Hi there,

One fig or two prunes per day will solve your problem, guaranteed ;-))
