A few hints and tips

A few hints and tips about cooking and eating which may help those who have difficulty swallowing.

Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas

A take on fish and chips that may be suitable for someone with difficulty swallowing or living with oesophageal cancer.

Malcolm's strength is humbling. Despite a terminal oesophageal cancer diagnosis, he has a zest for life and is determined to ensure people with oesophageal cancer find a way of enjoying real food if they possibly can.

Persistent heartburn

Persistent heartburn. Do not ignore persistent heartburn. If it lasts for more than 3 weeks consult your GP. Persistent heartburn can be a symptom of oesophageal cancer.

Oesophageal cancer

Oesophageal cancer is when abnormal cells in the food pipe grow in an uncontrolled way. Oesophageal cancer can occur in the lower or upper part of the oesophagus.

Barrett's oesophagus

Barrett’s oesophagus, often known as just Barrett’s, is a condition that affects the lining of the oesophagus. Cancer of the oesophagus is more likely in people who have Barrett’s.

Lifestyle changes

There are foods and substances that make reflux more likely. Avoiding or reducing certain food and drink may therefore reduce symptoms.
