How does food thickener help people with dysphagia?

There are all sorts of reasons why people may not be able to swallow safely - the condition known as Dysphagia. In many cases, adding a food thickener may provide the change necessary to produce the necessary texture and consistency that a person with dysphagia needs in order to swallow safely.

For people who are at risk of not drinking enough fluid or absorbing enough nutrition, this can be hugely beneficial. With the help of trained health professionals, such as a nutritionist or occupational therapist, you can experiment with food thickener to obtain the right consistency.

This particular brand, Quick Thick, is recommended for a number of reasons. First, this food thickener works instantly with both hot and cold liquids and purees.

It is a gel based flavorless solution that won't change the taste of the food or drink that it's applied to.

This instant food thickener is also gluten-free and protein-free, making it ideal for people on restrictive diets

The food thickener comes in 350 gram bags (just over 12 oz), so you're not paying for extra packaging.
