Dysphagia
• Modified diet consisting of foods that are easy to chew and swallow for those who have difficulty chewing and swallowing.
• There are three levels of the diet depending on the condition of the patient.

Level 1 Rationale
• This level is designed for people with moderate to severe dysphagia.
• Extremely poor chewing and swallowing abilities.
• These patients can not protect their airway.• Close supervision while eating is required.• Completely pureed, blended, soft, and thick
foods.

Level 3 Rationale
• This level is a transition from level 2 diet to a regular diet.
• Patient can chew and swallow adequately.• Foods required on this diet are nearly regular
textures, with the exception of hard, sticky, or crunchy foods. Foods still need to be moist and cut into bite-size pieces to aid swallowing.
