Paulkitamirke, As a speech pathologist who has PD, some foods and consistencies are contraindicated during the stages of PD. If you are choking on meats, bread, water or other liquids, you might want to see a speech pathologist who treats PwP for dysphagia (swallowing dysfunction.). If you are coughing or choking when eating is another sign of difficulty swallowing. If you start to aspirate (food going into your lungs instead of your stomach), it can ultimately result in death.
