We change the formula to jevity . All the medication has to be crushed. If you reach the point of chocking your food , it is critical and having PEG feeing is the correct decision.
She adapted well now and her weight is stable .

My mother diagnosed with ALS 2 years ago with bulbar type.
She has difficulties whith swallowing. We noticed she lost weight and lost her appetite as well.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hello everyone</p>
I took my mother , 70 years old, last February to Ukrainian stemm cell centre.They claimed she will notice some improvement and the progression will be sslow. She has bulbar ALS affecting her speech and swallowing mainly.
Unfortunately, after 3 months of the stem cell, we did not notice any improvement and her speech is deteriorating.
We are trying to find any proper way of communication, she can not read or write ,so it is more difficult for her and for us.
