Swallowing & Nutrition when it’s Difficult – Booklet

Possibly the greatest change to the lifestyle of the post-oesophagogastric surgery patient occurs with eating and digesting food.  This booklet offers advice on, and recipes for, balancing the diet, including the addition of food supplements.  It addresses some of the principal eating problems such as fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, indigestion, or diarrhoea, and explains the effects on eating and digestion of having a stent fitted, or having to undergo radiotherapy of chemotherapy.  Besides advice on food supplements, and on recipes that make use of them, there are also a few recipes for soups, main meals and desserts that are especially nutritious.  A much greater choice of recipes is available in our booklet ‘Recipes for when food is a problem’.
