[DYSPHAGIA] thickeners and dehydration...help!
We have a new thickener on the market in our area--made of Xantham
Gum--called "Simplythick". We do not have much data on it yet as our
research is on-going. There are some products, I believe from Resource
which have a high percentage of hydration per serving. Good Luck! Mary
