Is there any problem of difficulty in ingestingg fluids more than solids during parkinson's disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swallowing issues: Some people with Parkinson's develop swallowing problems (dysphagia), usually worse with liquids than solids. Can be tested with video esophagram, treated with swallowing rehab, diet changes, thickeners, change in consistency, etc.. Might improve with better control of the Parkinson's disease.
