WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE DYSPHAGIA

Recognise the signs and don’t improvise

Dysphagia is a common swallowing disorder in frail older people, but it can also affect adults, young people and children. It is often the result of a stroke, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, dementia, multiple sclerosis, cancer or the natural ageing process.

It should be viewed in the context of a team of specialists: It’s not enough simply to ‘blend the food’; professional guidance and products designed to suit specific textures and dietary requirements are needed.

SIGNS THAT SHOULD NOT BE UNDERESTIMATED

1Coughing after meals
2A hoarse or ‘gurgling’ voice
3Food that sticks in your mouth
4Food that spills out whilst eating
5It takes a very long time to eat
6A preference for soft foods

If left untreated, dysphagia increases the risk of choking, aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition and dehydration.
