It really depends on what type of stroke occurred, and which area of the brain it affected. Lets say the person incurred an infarct that affected the speech / swallow control areas of the brain - the patient would usually be seen by a speech language pathologist who would access the person's level of swallow and oral function. If the patient was seen to have dysphagia or other functional issues with swallowing the person would be prescribed with thickened fluids and recommended to have a modified diet (minced MASH, soft moist etc).
This special diet, if prescribed, is vital in preventing aspiration (food or liquid entering the trachea - to the lungs - possibly causing pneumonia) and thus the survival of the patient. There are however mild side effects - one is dehydration, and therefor a dietitian is often closely monitoring any patient who is on a modified diet. Often patient's do not enjoy the modifed diet also, and therefor avoid drinking. Also, often if a patient is incontinent, they will drink less in order to reduce embarrassment.
