IDDSI Replaces the National Dysphagia Diet

The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) is an organization made up of volunteer clinicians and researchers from 9 countries around the world. .

The IDDSI dream has been to: " Achieve global dysphagia diet terminology, creating common terminology and common understanding across international borders, across the lifespan, across all professions, and across the all stakeholders to help the care of people with difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)."

The IDDSI framework has expanded the levels of liquid consistencies. There are no longer only the three National Dysphagia Diet levels for thick liquids: Nectar -> Honey -> Pudding Thick. With IDDSI, Mildly -> Moderately -> Extremely Thick liquid replace those original three. The IDDSI additional level is Slightly Thick, which is between Thin and Mildly Thick. Potentially, patients could tolerate a liquid slightly thinner than what used to be considered “nectar thick.” That might improve quality of life and intake while preserving safety! These 5 total liquid consistencies are more in line with what Japan and Australia have already used.
Visit www.iddsi.organisations to learn more about their work and the progress so far.

INTERNATIONAL DYSPHAGIA DIET STANDARDISATION INITIATIVE (IDDSI)

The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) created global standardized terminology and definitions for texture-modified foods and thickened liquids to improve the safety and care for individuals with dysphagia, which affects an estimated 590 million people worldwide.

The IDDSI is composed of a large group of volunteer professional experts in multiple fields that are directly involved in the treatment of dysphagia, including nutrition and dietetics, speech language pathology, occupational therapy, nursing, patient therapy, food science, and technology from nine countries around the world.

The IDDSI dream since being founded in 2013 has been to:

“Achieve global diet terminology, creating common terminology and common understanding across international borders, across the lifespan, across all professions, and across all stakeholders to help the care of people with difficulty swallowing (dysphagia).”

In January 2017, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association together announced their support of a new global initiative to standardize diets for the treatment of people who suffer from swallowing disorders.
