Christian Sinclair, MDA tip from this session that I haven't heard of are shaping molds that can make pureed food look like the food it is supposed to be. Like a pile of peas.
If anyone has experience with this, I would like to hear how it went!

Paul Chambers🚧Even though I can't swallow due to #dysphagia related to my #Parkinsons plus MSA, I just spent a few minutes gargling a shot of Black Label Scotch. It's my "treat."
Every now and then I do it because I like the taste.
Every day, I do it with strong, hot coffee that is as hot as I can stand it.
When Penny eats her dinner, I also join her at the table, and the place setting, esp if we have company, is similar to this previous image I posted.
I also have a kit like this for if we go out to dinner to a restaurant. I have a long extension that comes out from under my shirt and I then push my meal through, at a "bite" pace similar to the other people eating food. I mainly do it because the other people I am with don't feel as bad eating in front of me, which I got over in 2012

RhyothemisEosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE): Lessons Learned from Medicaid and the UVA EoE Cohort
https://www.youtube.com/live/wt4gW_asI7g?si=m-jNljWnzwM5FH9X
presentation by Dr Emily McGowan at Fralin Biomedical Research Institute, Feb 9, 2024
- EoE incidence increasing [18:28]
- EoE is induced in mouse model with SDS, a detergent used in toothpaste. [21:28]
- even when eosinophils are cleared with anti-IL-5 Ab, symptoms remain [29:00]
comment: I & many others with MCAS have dysphagia. If eosinophils are at the party, it is usually b/c mast cells invited them. Also, MCAS affects women more.
- they usually take more than 5 biopsy samples when trying to diagnose EoE [16:10]
- EoE is IgG4 mediated [44:26]
- EoE associated with high socioeconomic status; Dr McGowan suspects this is due to underdiagnosis in ppl w/ less access to care.
comment: it would be interesting to know of EoE is associated with high PFAS burden, which is higher in ppl w/ higher income. PFAS have surfactant properties, like SDS. Also, there's increasing use of powerful surfactants in herbicides due to development of herbicide resistance.
- the Cytosponge for minimally invasive diagnostic testing [37:56]

IsaactheSpeechieHere’s some information on normal changes to swallowing as an individual ages. It’s important to note that a large variance in symptoms occurs, so it’s best to get it checked out if you or someone you know is worried about their swallowing. Often speech pathologists refer a person for a videofluorscopy that will help determine if it’s normal symptoms, or dysphagia 😃

Our new study in #CTGJournal found NO correlation between opioid use & ambulatory visits for dysphagia

Association Between Opioid Use and Outpatient Visits for... : Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology
relationship between opioid use and outpatient visits for dysphagia. RESULTS: After controlling for potential confounders, there were no significant difference in ambulatory visits for dysphagia between opioid users and nonusers (adjusted odds ratio = 0.98, confidence interval: 0.59–1.65). DISCUSSION: No correlation between opioid use and ambulatory visits for dysphagia was found in a nationwide sample. Opioid-related manometric changes may be clinically relevant only in a small proportion of patients....
