Those with dysphagia may have problems swallowing certain foods or liquids and some may be unable to swallow at all. The texture of the diet and /or consistency of the fluids may need to be changed and the Speech Language Therapist (SLT) and a Dietitian may have given the appropriate and tailor made advice.
