I have been diagnosed with bulbar onset ALS, I got a tube in May 06 and use it primarily for nuition. I am able to tongue and swallow recreational soft foods. I have limited ability to brush my teeth. Recently I noticed a different feelings about my gums constantly sore feeling. How does one prevent gum diseasewithout brushing?
I also take oxybutin for the drooling. It dries me up and I am constantly struggling with constipation. I take gytrol (diabetic formula) for nuition along with every other can 2 teaspoons of liquid colase, I also take 2 tbs of benefiber (12 oz of water) and 2 oz of prune juice with every feeding. Does anyone have a hint that could share.
