I'm thinking about getting my mother (who is bulbar-onset) a juicer for Christmas. These are very expensive here, and we can't get that Vita-Mix device that some others on the board have written about. It isn't available in Australia.
I'm thinking that with a juicer she would be able to get some nutrients from fruit and vegetables via a straw - make nutritious "cocktails" to sip.
She'll probably end up with a peg quite soon - within the next month or two, as she is starting to struggle with many foods, and she finds thin liquids difficult. But I know that she wants to try and keep eating healthy "real food" as much as possible.
So what do you all think - is a juicer going to be useful?
Thanks.
