My trouble swallowing began a year ago, so I have learned to avoid very dry foods and to take my time. Alas! No more lovely big fat pretzels. But I am finding other things to enjoy and know that my tastes are changing. Cottage cheese and fruit are a real treat. I find myself enjoying anything with vinegar and wonder if it is because the strong flavors are more enjoyable now. Why do I love pickled beets when I never bothered with them before?
I know I am a healthy eater, but probably need to educate myself on ways to increase my protein and fiber intake since I am not eating as much as years ago.
I was recently diagnosed but have had continued symptoms for more than 5 years. I thought I was aging faster than everyone else . 74 years young.
