I was contacted recently by Pauline of  Slõ Drinks. They are a small, British company based in Glossop, south Manchester. They have a large range of well researched and tested products to aid people with swallowing difficulties – Dysphagia to those in the know. This condition can arise for all sorts of reasons, including head and neck cancer treatment.

Doctors commonly recommend adding thickener powders to drinks but this is a hit and miss method, requiring a lot of experimentation to get reasonable results. Slõ Drinks have gone much further and offer products for hot, cold and even fizzy drinks. They can even provide products designed for beer, wine and spirits! – Great news at this time of year.

Part of Slõ Drinks’ philosophy is to actively link up with support groups like ours and share information about this much neglected aspect of care and recovery. Their blog is full of interesting reading on the subject.
