Food Thickeners for Dysphasia

Food thickeners are an option for dysphasia treatment when a denser consistency is needed to help prevent aspiration. Whether these food thickeners include natural products (pureed prunes, apricots or yogurt) or commercial-brand food thickeners are used (such as the ones available at Total Diabetes Supply), food thickeners can be a great option for those who suffer from dysphasia.

Food thickeners allow you to control the level of viscosity in your or your loved one's food, adjusting the food or liquid into a nectar-, honey- or a spoon-thick consistency. Our food thickeners from brands like Hormel and Nestle offer instant thickening to help aid in mealtime efficacy and are affordable options for use.

Dysphasia Treatments and Best Practices

Dysphasia treatment can benefit from good mealtime habits as well. Turning off the television and eliminating distractions may help with focus. Sitting upright can also help with the prevention of aspiration and/or choking. Dysphasia treatment is a long-term process that requires a lot of patience, encouragement and positivity. Food thickeners can be an important part of dysphasia treatment.
