Food Choices after Stroke Study - seeking volunteers!

Not sure if my experience helps, but I had to learn to swallow after my stroke. Different foods have different levels of risk for me. Now, I have always a glass of water next to me when I eat - precaution!

Wow, it sounds like you have come a long way in your recovery Michael! Your experience is exactly the kind of thing we would like to learn for our study.

At the moment, advice is to eat a healthy diet - but not much information on how to support the needs of stroke survivors. We hope to use what we learn in our study to make programs specific to those needs.

As I was fed through a tube for sometime, I had to 're-learn' to swallow. They used 'thickened water' to teach me. Also, now, my food has to be spicy (at least 3 chillies rating!) unlike before the stroke.
