OTHER TOPICS GERD Eating disorders Irritable bowel Dysphagia M. Louay Omran, M.D. Dr. Omran is Assistant Professor in the Division of Geriatrics at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Dysphagia, or difficulty in swallowing, is not a disease in itself but a condition that can be brought on by many different causes because swallowing is a delicate process, easily disturbed. Some causes are minor and quickly treatable; others are serious, even life-threatening. Although it can be as difficult to find the right treatment for dysphagia, as it is to define a precise cause, good treatments do exist for most forms of this condition. Unfortunately, as a recent European study has confirmed, dysphagia often goes undetected and either untreated or undertreated. How Swallowing Works To understand dysphagia, it is helpful to start by understanding how we swallow. The swallowing process is surprisingly intricate, involving both conscious and unconscious actions carried out by more than 40 pairs of muscles that must be finely coordinated. Doctors divide the swallowing process into three phases oral, oropharyngeal and esophageal. Dysphagia occurs when something interferes with either the second or third phase. The Three Stages of Swallowing In the oral phase, we take food or drink into our mouths and then push it into the back of the mouth toward the upper part of the throat, through which we both breathe and swallow.

Home Other Health Articles Health Discussions Disease Information Center Food Stuck Without Blockage in Esophagus vs Throat Lump About the author: Dr . Minocha is a practicing gastroenterologist and author of "Natural Stomach Care: Treating and Preventing Digestive Disorders with Best of Eastern and Western Therapies" Some patients complain that food "sticks", or "hangs up" or "stops" in esophagus. In others, it feels like going very slowly down through the esophagus. Frequently no narrowing or stricture of esophagus is found. This is referred to as non-obstructive esophageal dysphagia Distinction from Globus Swallowing problems related to nonobstructive esophageal dysphagia are different from globus sensation (lump in throat) which is described at the end Causes 1. Neuromuscular : Patients with nonobstructive esophageal dysphagia have some neuromuscular dysfunction involving the esophagus. Some of these have a well-defined motility disorder of esophagus, but no specific treatable abnormality is found in most of cases. 2. Acid Reflux or Heartburn

16. Untitled Use of Carbonated Liquids in the Treatment of dysphagia. Statistical significance notably decreased as the severity of dysphagia increased. http://www.dysphagia-diet.com/newsl.htm

Use of Carbonated Liquids in the Treatment of Dysphagia by Tracey Swank Nixon, MS, CCC-SLP, HEALTHSOUTH Medical Center, Dallas, TX. first published in "Network" A Newsletter of Dietetics in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Winter 1997, A Dietetic Practice Group of the American Dietetic Association ABSTRACT The purpose of this research study was to compare the effects of carbonated and thin liquids on both the oral and pharyngeal function in dysphagic populations. The results exhibited statistically significant differences between the two, in the areas of oral and pharyngeal transit time and other physiological measures. There was also a significant percentage of patients who tolerated carbonated liquids, yet aspirated thin liquids. These results provided additional information regarding both therapeutic and hydration needs of this population. METHODOLOGY RESULTS A series of paired t-tests for repeated measures and one-way ANOVA's 4X1 were completed in order to compare the effects of carbonated and thin liquids on various measures. Statistically significant results within and between the four groups were yielded. DISCUSSION This study examined the effects of thin and carbonated liquids on various oral and pharyngeal measurements with single and multi-sequential swallows. The results reveals statistically significant differences between the two types of liquids. Carbonation allowed for faster oral and pharyngeal transit times, decreased incidence of pooling and penetration, improved laryngeal elevation and decreased incidence of aspiration. Statistical significance notably decreased as the severity of dysphagia increased.

Brochures InsideMS Keep S'myelin Sourcebook ... Web Resources Dysphagia From The MS Information Sourcebook , produced by the National MS Society. Dysphagia, or difficulty in swallowing, can occur among people with MS. While more frequent in advanced disease, it can occur at any stage. The person may cough after drinking liquids, or choke while eating certain foods, particularly those with crumbly textures. When this kind of coughing or choking occurs, the food or liquids are inhaled into the trachea (windpipe) instead of going down the esophagus (gullet) and into the stomach. Once in the lungs, the inhaled food or liquids can cause pneumonia or abscesses. Because the food or drink is not reaching the stomach, a person may also be at risk for malnutrition or dehydration. It can also occur that a person inhales small amounts of food or liquids without being aware of it. This is called silent aspiration. Diagnosing and Treating Dysphagia Dysphagia is initially diagnosed by a careful history and neurologic examination of the tongue and swallowing muscles. Sometimes a special imaging procedure called a modified barium swallow is needed. In this test, the patient drinks or eats contrast material of different consistencies—thin liquid, thick liquid, and solid. A videofluoroscope, which can trace the path of the contrast material, is used to film the swallowing. The precise location and manner of a swallowing defect can then be identified, and treatment prescribed.
