Are there any good websites to find recipes for cooking for people with Esophageal Cancer?


I need to find recipes for bland (non-acidic) soups and purees. Things that are not spicy and that are easy to swallow.

You know what? The best way to make people with esophageal cancer feel better and at the same time have enough energy to have their therapy done properly is to put them under enteral nutrition until they finished their treatment and have recovered their initial weight (before being sick)!
You can find that on TONS of medical publications!

I'm sure that you really wanted to help but WHEN YOU'RE FIGHTING THIS TYPE OF CANCER AND FACING A STRONG CHEMOTHERAPY, YOU MUST EAT ALMOST TWICE THE AMOUNT OF PROTEIN AND ENERGY THAT YOU SHOULD BE EATING NORMALLY!
example: for a man of 70kg (154 lb witch is quite light for a man) you must give to him 700g (1.54 lb) of beef meat or 16 eggs or 22 yogurts per day every day!!!!
Forget about your soup unless it's only for pleasure (but it'll full the stomach and make him feel like "I don't want to eat nothing more!")
You have some ABBOTT or NESTLE or NUTRICIA clinical nutrition kind of yogurt or purees that are hyperproteinated (they taste great) and if you are SURE that he will take the right amount of proteins: use it (pharmacy only) but believe me it's almost impossible to make it in a normal way!

TRY THE WEBSITES FOR MAJOR CANCER CENTERS. MEMORIAL SLOAN-KETTERING, M.D. ANDERSON ETC. TRY YOGURT, CREAM OF POTATO SOUP, FISH WHITE CHOWDER, CORN CHOWDER. TRY DRINKING SLIMFAST,NOT TO LOSE WEIGHT BUT AS A FILLING DRINK. BABY CEREAL OR WHEAT-A-BIX

You best resource for this type of thing is the hospital's dietitian. They also help outpatients who are undergoing treatment; get a referral fom the doctor.
