[Dysphagia] use of thickener and early satiety

[lobsterpam at aol.com (lobsterpam at aol.com)]

 Using the search terms "gastric emptying fiber." there are quite a few that discuss the effects of gums and fibers on gastric emptying and satiety. A narrower list if you use "gastric emptying gel fiber." Several are also free full text.

Hello list,

 

I tried doing a quick pubmed search to find any research to support this 
statement below but could not find anything.  Is there research to support this 
statement?


"the thickeners that are gum based cause a false satiety leading to slow gastric 
emptying and malnutrition because of a lack of appetite for the food. This 
probably applies to the starch based ones as well but has not, to my knowledge 
been proven as has slow gastric emptying with gums and fiber."

 

Thanks,

Sharon
