Answer to Question 1

Modified diets that alter food texture or consistency are often used for those who need assistance with the process of eating or for those who will have procedures that affect how food is eaten or digested. Mechanically altered diets, such as pureed and soft food diets are for people with swallowing difficulties, poor tongue control, or oral hypersensitivity. They are appropriate for those with limited chewing abilities or swallowing impairments. Blenderized liquid diets are for people who cannot chew, swallow easily, or tolerate solid foods. Clear liquid diets are for preparation for bowel surgery or colonoscopy, for acute GI disturbances, or as a transition diet after intravenous feeding.
