Welcome to
Changing diets is overwhelming. Your doctor or speech therapist prescribed a modified diet, and you have no idea where to start. We’re here to help!
Real Meals Modified follows international standards which help manage dysphagia diets. The International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) has seven levels that regulate testing methods for both liquids and solids. Our recipes are separated into these seven levels to make searching for the perfect recipe easy!
