What is Gelodiet Neutral Thickening Powder used for?
Swallowing problems can turn a simple glass of water into a real challenge. Gelodiet Neutral Thickening Powder is a reliable and effective solution to ensure smooth, risk-free feeding. Its instant and homogeneous thickening enables the texture of liquids to be adapted to the specific needs of patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, strokes or ENT procedures. Thanks to its high viscosifying properties, this powder ensures a stable consistency, effective both hot and cold.
Gelodiet's innovation lies in its resistance to salivary amylase, an essential feature for maintaining liquid thickening throughout the swallowing process. Unlike other thickeners, which can liquefy in the mouth, this one retains its structure, guaranteeing a secure grip. With its neutral pH and taste, it blends perfectly into drinks and preparations without altering flavor or causing digestive discomfort.
Its lactose- and gluten-free formula is ideal for patients suffering from food intolerances. It can be used in swallowing rehabilitation as well as in the dietary adaptation phase following post-operative trauma. Made in France, this product meets the most stringent standards to guarantee optimum safety and use in complete confidence.
Available in 225 g tins with 4.6 g sachets, or in 7 g sachets, Gelodiet Neutral Thickening Powder adapts to patients' needs and caregivers' practices. Its proven efficacy and ease of use make it an indispensable ally in hospitals and at home.
Thanks to its innovative formula, Gelodiet Neutral Thickening Powder enables patients to return to a more serene diet, without the risk of a false route or discomfort. Its immediate action on the consistency of liquids ensures a safer intake, reducing the risk of pulmonary aspiration, a frequent hazard for people with neurological disorders or post-stroke. This enhanced safety not only contributes to the patient's well-being, but also to the peace of mind of those around him or her and caregivers. By providing a stable, adapted texture, this thickening powder helps preserve hydration and promotes better acceptance of fluids, essential to the body's proper functioning.
One of Gelodiet's greatest assets is its easy integration into everyday life. Whether used to thicken water, juice, tea or even soup, its neutral taste guarantees an unchanged taste experience. Unlike other thickening solutions, which can alter the flavor or give a grainy appearance, this one offers a homogenous, pleasant texture, without altering beverages or leaving unpleasant residues in the mouth. This ease of use makes it a preferred choice both in hospital and at home, enabling patients to regain their autonomy in eating and drinking, even in the presence of severe swallowing disorders.
