Dysphagia ‫البلع‬ ‫عسر‬
The act of swallowing is complex.
The initial phase – oropharyngeal
The second phase - esophageal
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Types of dysphagia
– Oropharyngeal dysphagia – affects the transfer of
food from the mouth and pharynx to the esophagus.
• Symptoms include:
• Inability to initiate swallowing
• Coughing during or after swallowing
• Nasal regurgitation
• Other signs include:
• Bad breath, gurgling noise after swallowing, a hoarse or
“wet” voice, speech disorder
– Esophageal dysphagia – difficulty passing a bolus
of food through the esophageal lumen and into
the stomach due to either an obstruction in the
esophagus (usually a stricture) or to a motility
disorder (achalasia).
Complications of dysphagia
– Aspiration
– Malnutrition
– Weight loss may occur
– Increased risk of dehydration
Evaluating dysphagia
– Barium swallow study
– Endoscopy
– Neurological examination
Dietary interventions
– factors that may help:
– Physical properties of foods and beverages
– Food preparation
– Alternate feeding methods
– Reassessment of the dietary plan over time
– Adjustment to suit a person’s swallowing abilities
and tolerances
– Consultation with a swallowing expert – speech and
language therapist

Food Properties
– Easy-to-manage textures and consistencies
– Soft, cohesive foods – not hard or crumbly
– Moist foods – not dry or sticky or gummy
– Viscous beverages (milk shakes)
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Food Preparation
– Alteration of food texture – pureed, mashed,
ground, or minced
– One consistency
– Avoid nuts and seeds
– Addition of commercial starch thickeners or baby
cereals to thicken liquids
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Feeding strategies
– Learn exercises that strengthen the jaws, tongue,
or larynx
– Changing head and neck posture while eating
Speech and language therapists can help patients
learn these techniques.
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Enteral nutrition support
– Tube feedings given to patients – unable to
consume adequate amounts of foods
– Intestinal feedings used if an individual is at high
risk of aspiration

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease –
GERD
‫الطعام‬ ‫أرتداد‬ ‫أو‬ ‫القلس‬
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Symptoms
– Hearburn – most common GI complaint
– Regurgitation – reflux of small amounts of stomach
acid into the mouth
With GERD – gastric reflux causes frequent discomfort
and, sometimes, tissue damage.
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Causes of GERD
– Weakening or inappropriate relaxation of lower
esophageal sphincter
– Associated with pregnancy, asthma, and hiatal hernia
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Consequences of GERD
– Reflux esophagitis
– Esophageal ulcers
– Scarring of ulcerated tissue
– Strictures
– Barrett’s esophagus – increased risk of cancer
– Pulmonary disease
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Treatment of GERD
– drug therapy
– Proton-pump inhibitors
– Histamine-2-receptor blocking agents
– Antacids
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
lifestyle modifications
– Avoid eating bedtime snacks or lying down
immediately after meals
– Consume meals 2-3 hours before bedtime
– Elevate head of bed on 6-inch blocks
– Prop pillows under the head and upper torso
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
– Consume small meals and drink liquids between
meals
– Limit foods that weaken lower esophageal sphincter
pressure or increase gastric acid secretion
– Avoid smoking and alcohol
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
– Avoid bending over and wearing tight clothing that
increases pressure in the stomach
– Lose weight if needed
– Avoid foods and beverages that irritate the
esophagus during periods of esophagitis

Gastric Surgery
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
The post-gastrectomy diet
– Fluids and food withheld until some healing has
occurred
– Fluids initially given intravenously
– Fluid balance carefully monitored
– Ice chips or small sips of water allowed 24-48 hours
post-op
– Progressed from clear liquids to solid foods by 4th or
5th post-op day
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
– Dietary adjustments influenced by the size of the
remaining stomach
– Small, frequent meals and snacks
– Includes mostly soft, low-fat foods
– High in complex carbohydrates
– Avoid sweets and sugars
– Liquids limited during meals (½ cup)
– Specific food intolerances
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Dumping syndrome
– Group of symptoms resulting from abnormally rapid
gastric emptying
– Common complication of gastrectomy and gastric
bypass surgery
– Caused by hypertonic gastric contents rushing into
the intestines after meals
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
– Early symptoms occur within 30 minutes
– Early symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal
cramping, diarrhea, lightheadedness, rapid
heartbeat
– Above symptoms caused from
• Large fluid shift from blood plasma to intestines that
lowers blood volume
• An increase in peristaltic activity
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
– Later symptoms occur several hours later –
Hypoglycemia due to spike in blood glucose
following meal – and excessive insulin response
– Small frequent meals, limit fluids during meals,
sugars restricted
– Addition of pectin and guar gum
– Medications – octreotide
– Additional surgery
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Post-surgical complications and
nutrition status
– Discomfort with meals
– Food avoidance
– Weight loss
– Malnutrition
– Steatorrhea
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Steatorrhea
– Fat malabsorption
– Bacterial overgrowth
– Treat with medium chain triglycerides and
supplemental pancreatic enzymes
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Bone disease
– Fat malabsorption – calcium and vitamin D
malabsorption
– Avoidance of milk to minimize dumping syndrome –
increases risk of calcium and vitamin D deficiencies
– Osteoporois and osteomalcia incidence is high in
gastrectomy patients – monitor bone density –
during years after surgery
– Supplementation of calcium and vitamin D
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Anemia
– High risk for iron and B12 anemia
– May take several years to develop
– Reduced gastric secretions impair absorption of iron
and B12
– Duodenum is major site of iron absorption – iron
absorption reduced if duodenum has been removed
or bypassed
– Supplementation of iron and B12
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Bariatric surgery
– Effective treatments for morbid obesity
– Can dramatically affect health and nutrition status
– Patients require lifelong management
– Weight loss most rapid in first six months after
surgery – stabilizes after 18-24 months
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Dietary guidelines after bariatric
surgery
– First day or two – ice chips and small sips of water
– Full liquid diet – given 1-2 weeks
– Progressed to pureed foods for 1-2 weeks
– Progressed to soft foods and finally regular foods
– 5-6 small meals per day
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
– Patient education and counseling – critical
– Food portion sizes – controlled
– Teach patient elements of a healthy diet
– Avoid foods that may cause abdominal discomfort,
vomiting or dumping syndrome
– Dietary supplements
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Post-surgical concerns
– Dumping syndrome
– Malabsorption
– Multiple nutrient deficiencies
– Gallbladder disease – patients at risk may have their
gallbladders removed during bariatric surgery
– Plastic surgery may be necessary to remove extra
skin

Dental Health and Its Relationship with
Chronic Illness
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Dental Health
• Periodontal disease
– Inflammatory conditions involving the
periodontium – tissues that support the tooth in
its bony socket (gingiva, connective tissues, and
bone underneath)
– Gingivitis – characterized by redness, bleeding,
and swelling of gum tissue
– Periodontitis – inflammation of tissues
surrounding the tooth; may cause tooth loss if
untreated
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
– Risk factors
• Dental plaque
• Tobacco smoking
• Impaired immunity
– Signs and symptoms
• Gingivitis – bleeding, swollen, tender gums
• Gap between infected gum and tooth deepens
• Bad taste in mouth / persistent bad breath
• Treatments: cleaning, antimicrobial rinses, topical
antibiotics, surgery
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Dry mouth
– Many medications reduce salivary flow
– Poorly controlled diabetes
– Conditions that affect salivary gland function (e.g.
Sjögren’s syndrome)
– Radiation therapy
– Can impair health: interferes with speech, bad
breath, mouth infections, difficulty
chewing/swallowing, discomfort or ulcerations
from dentures
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
Dental health and chronic illness
– Diabetes mellitus
• Periodontal disease is more prevalent
• High risk of dental caries and oral fungal infections
– Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) / AIDS
• Decreased immunity increases risk of periodontal
disease
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
– Oral cancers
• Radiation treatment can cause severe oral and dental
complications
© 2006 Thomson-Wadsworth
– Dental health and disease risk
• Immune response – inflammatory process induced by
periodontal disease activates cytokines and other
mediators
• Respiratory illnesses – caused by bacteria which colonize
teeth
• Atherosclerosis and heart disease – blood vessel cells
attacked by bacteria associated with gingivitis
• Diabetes mellitus – periodontal disease can make attaining
glucose control difficult
