Eating and Drinking

The hints and tips on this page have been submitted by people living with MND and are not as such endorsed by the MND Association. We would always recommend you consult a relevant Health Professional before trying any pieces of equipment or medications/treatments.

Eating

You may find that if your mind is pre-occupied on something else while eating that food goes down easier.

Pureeing foods

Using an electric blender may make it possible for you to continue to eat your favourite dishes by changing the consistency of foods that you find difficult to swallow.

Chewing gum

Chewing gum may help to produce saliva, very helpful if your mouth tends to dry up when talking.

Tiramisu

Tiramisu available from most supermarkets is not too sweet, slips down easily and stays on the spoon.
