DOES FOOD REALLY HAVE TO BE PUREED OR CAN IT JUST BE WELL CHEWED OR SOFT?

I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF PUREED FOOD! I AM TO THE POINT WHERE PUREED FOODS JUST MAKE ME GAG! I AM LACTOSE INTOLERANT AND I'M ALLERGIC TO GRAINS( I TRIED ISOPURE AND I HAD AN ALLERGIC REACTION-REDNESS AND SWELLING OF LIPS). I AM NOT GETTING ENOUGH PROTEIN AT ALL. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIMENTING WITH SOFT FOODS AND CHEWING THEM WELL. YESTERDAY I ATE 1/2 OF A SOFT CHICKEN TACO FROM TACO BELL(NO SAUCE-JUST CHICKEN AND CHEESE). I CHEWED IT REALLY WELL AND ATE SLOWLY. I DID NOT HAVE ANY ILL EFFECTS FROM IT. I REALLY NEED TO KNOW IF THIS IS OK BEFORE I CONTINUE DOWN THIS PATH. CAN I DAMAGE MY STOMACH OR STAPLES BY EATING SOFT FOODS? AT THIS POINT I AM PRACTICALLY STARVING OR ONLY HAVING ONE SMALL MEAL( 2 AT MOST ) PER DAY. PLEASE HELP.
