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.


Respectfully,

Bryan / Brent
