[Dysphagia] Re: Saliva



  
Since June 2005 she has a problem with eating as her mouth will start
filling with saliva (frothy and quite glutinous) which she can't swallow
adequately as it happens so fast and so much that she has to spit it out
until it stops. It can last 10-20 minutes.
   
  *** Is everyone quite sure that it's saliva? Whitish, frothy exudate is more often from the esophagus.

   She can ONLY eat sweet biscuits
or chocolate 
  *** Any specific type of biscuit (cookie)?
  
Her doctor has had X-ray and CT Scan which are clear,
  *** Of what?
