Enjoy More Comfortable Mealtimes with Dysphagia

Understanding Dysphagia

Dysphagia refers to swallowing difficulties, such as choking on food or drinks, coughing during or after swallowing, and difficulty moving food around in your mouth. If swallowing isn't safe or effective, eating and drinking can become stressful, but with the right support, it can be managed. ^1,2

If you recognise these symptoms, it's important to talk to a healthcare professional promptly.

Why Dysphagia Matters: 55% of older people with dysphagia are at risk of malnutrition.

Supporting Nutrition and Confidence

When swallowing is a challenge, the impact goes beyond nutrition. Fear of eating can develop into a psychological barrier to your wellbeing. By choosing oral nutritional supplements (ONS) that match the IDDSI⁴ framework for your particular needs, you can continue to meet your nutritional requirements while also building confidence.^5,6

With the support of your healthcare team, you’ll find options that are suitable for your needs, whilst also fitting your daily routine and personal preferences.
