Carob Pie with Almond Butter

Recipe Carob Pie With Almond Butter

Adapting to eating was a gradual process for me due to the impact of my treatment, as I experienced pain and sensitivity in my teeth, gums and tongue. While I used to find it embarrassing to eat in public, over time I have strengthened my jaw muscles, and as things began to return to normal I was able to start eating and talking as I had before.
