Hello Community,

I was asked a question by a client and I did some research but could not come up with an answer.  Can you deduct the cost of applesauce or pudding that is used by elderly people to make it easier for them to swallow their medications.  This food is not prescribed by a physician to treat a condition but is taken by this elderly person to help them swallow their medications.  They have enough medical expenses to exceed the 7.5% threshold.  The total cost in a year would not exceed $500 for both the husband and wife.  Maybe this could be considered a medical supply possibly.  What does the community think about this.

Thanks,

John Skouberdis
