title: Stroke and eating difficulties: the long term experiences.
abstract: Problems with eating after suffering a stroke are usually considered from the functional perspective. This qualitative study aimed to take a different approach by finding out what it is like to live with eating difficulties. Eating and drinking are central to many of our social and cultural activities and the authors suggest that it is an important part of our experience of 'being a person'.
