I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

Dr. Ghosh: Mouth sores can be a troublesome side effect of chemotherapy or radiation therapy and usually occur a few days after treatment. The inside of the mouth can become raw and ulcerated, making eating and swallowing difficult. If pain from mouth sores becomes unbearable, discuss with your doctor because there are medications that may help. You may also try oral topical pain medications such as Orabase®. Rinse your mouth after meals and at bedtime with 8 ounces warm water mixed with 1 teaspoon salt; brush teeth with a soft toothbrush at least twice a day.

Be sure to discuss your mouth sores with your doctor and try the following suggestions:
Omit hard, rough-textured or irritating foods.
Drink nutritional energy beverages, such as Carnation® Instant Breakfast® energy drink, Boost®, or Ensure®.
Avoid spicy or peppery foods.
Avoid citrus foods such as tomatoes, oranges, grapefruit and lemons because of their high acid content.
Eat small, high-calorie, high-protein meals frequently.
Eat only room-temperature foods, not hot or cold foods.
Pour liquids over foods to soften them (milk over toast, for example).
Use buttermilk as a mouthwash to soothe irritations.
Eat soft, easy-to-swallow foods: shakes; bananas; applesauce; watermelon and other soft fruits; yogurt; cottage cheese; mashed potatoes; pasta; noodles; custard; puddings; gelatins; scrambled eggs; oatmeal or other cooked cereals; mashed sweet potatoes, peas or carrots; pureed meats.
Use a straw to drink liquids.
