What are some foods that are easy to swallow if I have Parkinson's disease?

Here are some foods that are easier for people with Parkinson’s disease to swallow:Baby foods and cereals. Baby foods have a smooth, easy-to-swallow consistency. Strained, thickened soups.

Puree a favorite soup in a food processor or blender to remove chunks. Then, thicken the soup with mashed potatoes (or strained, mashed peas, beans, lentils, or chickpeas), blend, and serve. Strained, thickened fruits.

Use a food processor to combine your favorite fruits with cottage cheese, cream cheese, or yogurt. Strain off excess liquid, blend until desired consistency is reached, and then serve.Yogurt. Buy the smooth or blended variety, or puree the fruit-on-the-bottom variety in a blender until smooth.

Thick puddings. Soft bread with crusts removed. Take your time with bread.

Eat one small piece at a time. Suck on it until it is soaked in saliva and swallow it with one big gulp. Canned liquid diets.

Some of these may be too thin; thicken them with cornstarch. Be aware that relying solely on liquid diets can result in low blood albumin, so you might want to add dried egg-white powder to the liquid if you plan to use liquid diets for an extended period. Fruit nectars.

Thicker than most juices, nectars are less likely to be aspirated when swallowed. Look for apricot, pear, mango, and banana nectar in the ethnic or specialty aisle of your supermarket. Tomato juice is another thicker beverage that can be easier to swallow.

Thick spreads like hummus or cream cheese. Serve on soft, crustless bread or eat as a snack with a spoon. Mashed avocado or banana.
