texture-modified diets and speech
therapists! Adherence to modified
consistency diets for chewing (and
swallowing) problems is the key
nutrition therapy for our folks with
dental problems.
The next critical step to digestion is
proper swallowing. Swallowing involves
first the tongue pushing the bolus back
towards the back of the oral cavity, or
the pharynx. Next, there is an action
that pushes it into the esophagus. The
epiglottis, the cartilage " flap " over
the entrance to the trachea, prevents
the bolus of food from entering the
trachea and causing aspiration into the
lungs. With aging, the function of the
epiglottis can diminish, increasing risk
for aspiration. When the bolus makes it
to the esophagus, the digestive function
is purely mechanical, as peristalsis
moves it down to the entrance of
the stomach. Enjoy the ride, chicken

NUTRITION THERAPY
for dysphagia involves
deep understanding and
implementation of the
IDDSI framework, which
provides a consistent
continuum of food and
fluid levels.
Disease states that affect the
esophagus include gastroesophageal
reflux (GERD), dysphagia, and cancer.
A person with oral or esophageal
cancer may need long-term tube
feeding therapy, as they are not
able to consume food or fluids
by mouth and esophagus after
surgery or chemotherapy. Nutrition
therapy for dysphagia involves deep
understanding and implementation
of the IDDSI framework, which
provides a consistent continuum of
food and fluid levels. If you have not
done so already, learn more about
the International Dysphagia Diet
Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) and
how to implement it in your facility.
After the brief trip down the
esophagus, your bolus will enter the
stomach for storage, and protein
digestion soon begins. Our chicken is
starting to combine with the enzyme
pepsin and hydrochloric acid to form
