How do ALS patients eat when they lose their ability to chew and swallow?
As muscle weakness makes eating more difficult, dietary consistency changes are needed. Gradually the diet includes softer foods and eventually may consist of pured foods. When eating becomes too tiring or causes problems with choking, many ALS patients opt for a feeding tube. This is a relatively simple procedure, which can greatly extend the quality and quantity of an ALS patient.
