Eating and drinking with motor neurone disease (MND)

Information, tips and easy-swallow recipes

  • How can this web app help me?

    With motor neurone disease (MND), swallowing and movement may be affected. This can make it harder to eat and drink as you wish.

    This web app is a handy companion when preparing meals. It enables you to access easy-swallow recipes on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.

    Recommendations on how to adapt the way you eat and drink are also provided. See the following drop down option How do I order the full printed guide? to find out how to get detailed information.
