My mum who has AD seems to be gradually drinking less and less. Everyday when I go in I make a cup of coffee or tea for myself and offer her one and she always says she has just had one. I know she hasn't as the kettle is always cold.
I would estimate her intake of fluids as maybe 2 small cups of tea /coffee a day and the water she has with her medication.
She has never said she finds it difficult to swallow but I'm wondering if this could be part of the problem from reading other threads on here. She has also stopped eating porridge as she says it makes her gag, she used to love porridge
Could someone explain why AD sufferers have trouble swallowing please?
