[Dysphagia] alternative thickeners

[jhlaplante at midmaine.com (Heather)]

I am looking for any information on alternatives to thickeners (ie.
cornstarch) to use for patients which may be allergic to standard thickening
products.  Does anyone know of any good research articles or have any
experience with alternative thickeners?  Any information would help.

 

Thank you,
