[Dysphagia] thickened liquids

What is the general consensus out there:  Do thickened liquids provide as 
much hydration as regular thin liquids?  I work with a doctor who feels that 
anyone on thickened liquids is at risk for dehydration (even if they take adequate 
amounts).
Thank you, Patti Banick, SLP
