[Dysphagia] safe thickening agents


  • Subject: [Dysphagia] safe thickening agents

Does anyone know of a "safe" thickening agent for clients with food
intolerance.  A nutritionist suggested arrowroot but the client's mom finds
it difficult to use.  Any suggestions on the use of arrowroot as a
thickener, or any other organic ideas?
 
Much appreciated,
