"With the ability to gain insight on their conditions and purchase products to help ensure they are getting products that meet their specific needs, patients will feel like more active members of their healthcare teams while enhancing their quality of life," said Sean Foster, Vice President of Marketing forNorth America.

Nearly 10 million Americans experience swallowing difficulty, or dysphagia, which may result from some neurological diseases or a variety of other conditions. It is possible that many more Americans suffer from this condition without knowing it. Diagnosis of dysphagia presents unique challenges. To consume adequate amounts of vital nutrients people may need to alter the consistency of their foods and beverages before eating or drinking.

Nestle's Web site provides visitors with a better understanding of this condition by detailing why dysphagia occurs and which healthcare professionals are able to help. It also offers tips for both consumers and caregivers who are living at home with the condition.

Practical information such as the consistency guide, which defines the specific consistencies and recommends products to help achieve them, as well as recipes and meal preparation tips will help people with the day-to-day challenges of living with this condition.

Detailed information and helpful products for those who have swallowing difficulty can all be found on this easy-to-use, informative Web site. The site encourages people with dysphagia and caregivers to better manage the condition and to achieve positive outcomes through nutrition therapy. In addition, a level of comfort is added in knowing the site is from Nestle, an industry leader and trusted source.
