Dr. Van Eeden(my GP) has referred me to VGH for a modified barium swallow test. You work with a speech pathologist to determine if the swallowing muscles are working properly. It is a condition called dysphagia and common in neurological diseases such as ALS. My days of raspberry crumble and oatmeal cookies may be numbered(they are difficult to swallow) but Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream will still be on the list!
