The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative has created a diet plan or framework for people with dysphagia. The dysphagia diet has levels that rate drinks and foods on a thickness scale from 0 to 7. Drinks are ranked from 0 to 4. Foods are ranked from 3 to 7, depending on thickness. The food levels are: Level 3 (moderately thick).
Cottage cheese okay. NO corn, peas, beans, asparagus, or non-tender veggies Canned peaches, pears, stewed tomatoes, crushed pineapple okay, but DRAIN OUT liquid NO raw fruit, except banana. Vegetables pureed smooth without lumps, chunks, seeds. Pureed fruits without pulp, seeds, chunks. NO cottage cheese.
The handouts can be used by people who have feeding, chewing or swallowing problems, their caregivers and clinicians. There are separate handouts that have been designed for adults, and handouts that have been designed for use with babies and children. The handouts provide easy-to-read information about the IDDSI levels and their testing methods.
LEVEL 3: DYSPHAGIA ADVANCED. Description: This level consists of food of nearly regular textures with the exception of very hard, sticky, or crunchy foods. Foods still need to be moist and should be in “bite-size” pieces at the oral phase of the swallow. Rationale: This diet is a transition to a regular diet.
The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) was founded in 2013 with the goal of developing new international standardised terminology and definitions to describe texture modified foods and thickened liquids used for individuals with dysphagia of all ages, in all care settings, and all cultures.
Liquid Consistency. Thickened liquids should be smooth (without lumps, chunks or pulp) and be thickened to the following (checked) consistency. Thin (level 0): Flows like water. Examples include: — milk — juice — coffee, tea — soda, carbonated beverages — ready-to-drink nutrition beverages. Mildly thick (level 2): Pours quickly from a ...
Liquids Levels Overview. In the IDDSI framework, there are four levels for liquids: Level 0 – Thin, Level 1 – Slightly Thick, Level 2 – Mildly Thick, Level 3 – Moderately Thick, Level 4 – Extremely Thick. Understanding the different levels of liquids in the IDDSI diet can help you make informed choices about what you drink.
The IDDSI framework consists of a continuum of 8 levels (0 - 7), where drinks are measured from Levels 0 – 4, while foods are measured from Levels 3 – 7. The IDDSI Framework provides a common terminology to describe food textures and drink thickness. IDDSI Testing Methods are intended to confirm the flow or textural characteristics of a ...
A dysphagia diet plan has 3 levels. Each level is based on how serious a person’s dysphagia is. A level 3 diet is the least limited. It is used as a transition to a normal diet. People on this diet can eat bite-sized pieces of moist foods with near-normal textures. They should avoid very hard, sticky, or crunchy foods, such as dried fruit or ...
This type of diet is recommended by a provider, dietitian or speech-language pathologist based upon your specific needs. This type of food is for people who may experience the following: Mild dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) Weakness in the muscles of the mouth and/or throat. Pain or tiredness with chewing.
The foods you eat can affect your ability to swallow. For example, soft foods are easier to swallow than hard foods. A dysphagia diet plan has 3 levels. Each level is based on how serious a person’s dysphagia is. A level 2 diet is the intermediate level. People on this diet should eat moist and soft-textured foods that are easy to chew.
A Dysphagia Diet is used for people who have difficulty swallowing. Foods on this diet are easier to chew and move around in your mouth. This will reduce the risk of food and liquids going the wrong way. Foods that are on mechanical soft diets are all made of moist and soft textures. Eating foods not allowed on this diet will increase your chance of swallowing problems and can result in food ...
How to manage dysphagia Your health care team recommends that you follow a soft and bite-sized diet for dysphagia. This booklet tells you how to do this.

The National Dysphagia Diet Guidelines list three mechanical soft food diet plans, depending on a person's chewing and swallowing abilities. However, advice regarding specific foods may vary depending on each person's individual comfort level. A doctor or registered dietitian may need to tailor a mechanical soft foods diet plan for each patient.
It can cause pneumonia and other problems. A dysphagia diet can help prevent aspiration. The foods you eat can affect your ability to swallow. For example, soft foods are easier to swallow than hard foods. A dysphagia diet plan has 3 levels. Each level is based on how serious a person’s dysphagia is. A level 1 diet is the most limited.
Diet texture modifications include changing the viscosity of liquids and/or softening, chopping, or pureeing solid foods using standardized guidelines (e.g., International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative [IDDSI]). Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) consider the influence of diet texture modifications on swallowing physiology ...
This diet plan has three levels. Each level is based on the severity of a person’s dysphagia. A level 1 dysphagia diet is the most restrictive. People on this diet should eat only pureed “pudding-like” foods. They should avoid foods with coarse textures. The National Dysphagia Diet also addresses liquids.
The National Dysphagia Diet (NDD), published in 2002 by the American Dietetic Association, aims to establish standard terminology and practice applications of dietary texture modification in dysphagia management. While the publication of common terminology is long overdue, SLPs need to exercise caution when interpreting and applying the ...
