Restoring pleasure: nutritional management of dysphagia.
Dysphagia is associated with many different conditions and although widespread it is frequently not recognized. People with dysphagia are at risk of developing serious complications such at malnutrition, dehydration and aspiration. Texture modification, food fortification and dietary supplements are important elements in effective nutritional management of dysphagia and can also help bring back some of the pleasure to mealtimes. The ideal approach to the management of dysphagia involves a multidisciplinary team.
