[Dysphagia] Esophageal disorders and oropharyngeal dysphagia

[pawprint1980 at yahoo.com.au (Alexandra Mitchell)]

Dear Julie,
   
  In regards to your email, in response to Keri's, re: eosphageal disorder (resulting in aspiration of solids, some liquids). 
   
  Re: the recommendations that you mentioned (eg: soft diet with thin liquids, avoiding cold fluids, pharyngeal exercise program (?), reflux diet (?), crushing medications and taking these with plenty of water to clear the esophageal residue); are those the recommendations that you would have for a patient with an esophageal disorder that is impacting on their oropharyngeal swallowing?
   
  I would love to do the breakfast workshop that you teach on this also. I do have a particular interest in learning in this area: and seem to have "plateaued" in what I can effectively teach myself from written materials. I would interested to know when the next workshop on this topic is.
   
  Thanks for your interesting email (thorough not lengthy!)
   
  Kind regards,
   
  Alexandra
