Choose Soft Foods
People with a mouth ulcer should choose soft foods rather than crunchy foods, which would irritate the affected area and increase the healing time. Also, crunchy products, such as raw veggies, toast, pizza, popcorn, nuts, or chips, make you chew more. This pulls on the skin around the sore and worsens the symptoms. It is better to go for soup, cheese, yogurt, potatoes, rice, oats, cooked veggies, and pasta. For meats and bread, consider chopping them up to avoid chewing too much. For tough or chewy food, you can serve with sauces or gravies to make it easier to chew. You can also mash up veggies or fruits with a processor before eating. [6]
