alt_liquid_thickeners
23 July 2004
Hello: Our father has Alzheimer's Disease, and has to have thickened liquids. We've tried "Thick-It," and it works well to prevent coughing/choking, however, he gets really "ampped up" on all of the corn starch in the "Thick-It" (sometimes, he ingests 35-40 scoops of "Thick-It" per day!) Is there an alternative liquid thickener that is starch-free and still would allow for proper thickening and hydration? Please help us if you can, and feel free to email me anytime if you are unable to post to this newsgroup. Respectfully, Brent/Bryan |

There is a product called ThickenThin NotStarch which is a thickener
designed for low-carb diets. Contains a lot of plant gums as I recall. At any rate, although it's pricey it may suit the bill for you.
