TMJ Diet: Vegetable Ramen Soup

This heart-warming soup is delicious and nutritious. Those with jaw problems including general jaw pain and TMJ jaw pain often have a hard time eating vegetables and high fiber foods that are essential to a healthy diet. Soups such as these fit into a soft food diet without sacrificing taste and nutrition. The soup can be made in a variety of ways depending on availability of vegetables. Add frozen vegetables like peas or corn for color, texture and more nutrition. Try different proteins like diced tofu, peas, shrimp, edamame beans or cooked chicken. If jaw pain is severe, consider pureeing the vegetables before adding protein and the noodles. For a *gluten-free variation, choose brown rice or buckwheat noodles.

What is TMJ?

What is TMJ?

TMJ is short for “temporomandibular joint”. There is one of these joints on each side of your face that attaches your jaw to the bottom of your skull. Sometimes the TMJs get out of line or don’t move as they should. This is referred to as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), also known as TMJ disorder. Up to 15 percent of adults, mostly ages 20 to 40, have it. More women than men suffer with TMJ pain. Scientists hypothesize that there may be a link between female hormones and jaw problems. More research is needed to better understand TMJ disorder.
