Living with dysphagia can be life changing. It can impact on a person’s mood, overall health and quality of life. It is important to make eating and drinking as enjoyable and as safe as possible. Please refer to the advice section (put in link to section) for further information on safe swallowing strategies.
It can be very challenging knowing what food to make when a person requires a modified texture diet. For information on maintaining a healthy diet and hydration please refer to the BVH Community Nutrition and Dietetics website.
Additionally online cookbooks such as Beyond the Blender and online videos, such as the Chefs Council Nutilis Masterclass can also provide ideas on how and what to cook for someone on modified texture diet and/or fluids. Please note that each website/company will give instructions according to the thickening product they use. Please always follow the instructions on the product that you are using.
