DMD Pathfinders have worked with global health professionals to create a guide which provides information on nutrition for adults with Duchenne. They have pulled together existing best practice and experiences of adults with Duchenne into a useful resource and compiled user experiences from a survey of 91 adults and families, many of whom have volunteered to share their stories in this guide.
This guide looks at the following topics • The Nutrition Timeline • A Healthy Diet • Nutraceuticals and Dietary Supplements • Maintaining a Healthy Weight • A Good Blended Diet (Case Study) • Eating with DMD • Chewing & Swallowing Problems • Ventilation & Nutrition • Feeding Tubes • Managing Bowels & Constipation • Common Gastrointestinal Problems • Nutrition Top Tips
