[Dysphagia] bite reflex

Hi all,
Recently evaluated MR pt with recent CVA. Now has strong bite reflex (apparently new) that is interfering significantly with PO intake as well as oral care. Some oral stage swallow impairment but would certainly be able to manage some oral intake safely if we could bypass immediate bite.  Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Naomi
