Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Blockage is due to inadequate chewing possibly.
2. Good chewing along with soft diet, could make it smoother.
3. Also adequate hydration will be helpful.
4. If chewing is difficult, take soft diet along with bulk forming agents to improve easy passage. Also exercise and bowel training will be helpful.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
