~EB Patients' Favorite Foods~

Food List put together by Melanie and Silvia


   It is excruciatingly hard to feed a child with RDEB (Recessive Dystrophic EB).
The mouth, throat and esophagus are prone to blisters, which, in turn, can and will produce scar tissue-enough to obstruct the passage of food through the esophagus. Because of this, RDEB children and adults can only eat mushy or liquid foods-or, at the very least, chew their food extremely well before they swallow it. Here is a list of some of the kids (and four adults!) on our list's favorite foods-hopefully you can find something to bring variety to the table for your EB child...

Weston's favorite foods - RDEB patient

**Pork and beans
**Bananas and cool whip

**Ice cream
**Chocolate popsicles
**Yogurt
**Pretzels
**Sugar cookies
**French fries
**Whipped cream
**Spinach and green beans and rice mashed up
**He will generally try stuff (after we make a big deal about it) but if he gets even slightly choked that's it, it will never pass his lips again.  So we always start with something he likes to make sure his throat is not sore.  Then we slip in the new thing.  I have let Cheerios sit and get soggy and he will eat some of them.  I guess that would work with any cereal.  Eating is slow because he lets each mouthful get soggy before he will swallow.

Bruce's Tender Steak Recipe - Adult w/RDEB

For all of us with difficulty eating meats (Rib eye, T-Bone, Cube Steak) or chicken, that comes with having EB. Myself, I like steak, and other meats, but I don't enjoy them when I have trouble eating, and chewing forever to swallow. Char Boiling, and frying don't to the trick.

So, my mom beats the meat good, flour, and season it. Then she fry's it briefly on both side until brown. The she takes a dish, puts hot water, then she puts about three beef bouillon cubes to devolve. Then put the steak in the dish, with a lid. Set the temperature oven for 350 degrees, bake the steak for at least 90 minutes, and it should be nice and tender, it may break apart. I will not eat steak any other way at home. I will not attempt to eat steak when I dine out. This way, it's a much enjoyable way of eating steak that I ever had before. The longer you bake it, the easier the steak is more tender it will be. Cube steak, I like it in mushroom soup or beef bouillon cubes, and bake at 375 degrees for at least two hours, because cube steak is rubbery to me, (but it's not my favorite). I would like feed back from anybody who does try this, and hear your opinions how the adults, and moms who have EB children. I had my share of problems with swallowing, and throat problems in my 32 1/2 years. I hope this will help everybody, because I think we all need protein in our regular diet, since we lose a lot through our skin.

Did we forget to mention Pediasure?? Most of our kids live on that!!!!
