This report is concerned with diet for dysphagic patients. Oral intake of foods was very important as rehabilitation training for dysphagia. However, some foods which are difficult to swallow for patients might cause air way obstruction and pneumonia. Therefore the choice of suitable diet was essential for the rehabilitation of dysphagia. Though adequate foods for dysphagic patients were slightly different, case by case. They are generally wet, easy to masticate and favorite of the patients. On the contrary, unsuitable diet, is dry and spicy. The foods containing too much water and unfavorite ones of the patients are not adequate for dysphagic patients. A program of diet for dysphagic patients were proposed and tried on a patient of dysphagia. Oral feeding was begun with soft and wet foods such as pudding, yoghurt and "chawan-mushi" as the first step and baby foods were chosen in the next step. In the third step, well-boiled soft vegetables or "toufu" (bean curd) were added to foods of the second step. In the forth step, gruel were added to the previous step. The foods should be chosen according to the improvement of the dysphagia. The diet program for dysphagic patients should be established.
