Gelodiet Neutral Thickening Powder 225 g offers instant dissolution and homogeneous thickening, resistant to salivary amylase. Its neutral taste and balanced pH ensure that it can be used to meet the specific needs of patients with swallowing disorders.
Swallowing difficulties can turn a simple glass of water into a real challenge. To ensure safe and easy feeding, Gelodiet Neutral Thickening Powder is a reliable and effective solution. Its instant and uniform thickening action allows the texture of liquids to be adapted to the specific needs of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, or ENT procedures. Thanks to its high thickening properties, this powder ensures a stable consistency that works effectively in both hot and cold foods and beverages.
Gelodiet’s innovation lies in its resistance to salivary amylase, an essential characteristic for maintaining the liquid’s thickness throughout the swallowing process. Unlike other thickeners that may liquefy in the mouth, this one retains its structure, thereby ensuring safe ingestion. With its neutral pH and neutral taste, it blends seamlessly into beverages and food preparations without altering their flavor or causing digestive discomfort.
Its lactose- and gluten-free formula is ideal for patients with food intolerances. It can be used both for swallowing rehabilitation and during the dietary adaptation phase following postoperative trauma. Manufactured in France, this product meets the strictest standards to ensure optimal safety and confident use.
Available in a 225-gram container with 4.6-gram scoops or in 7-gram packets, Gelodiet Neutral Thickening Powder adapts to patients’ needs and caregivers’ practices. Its proven effectiveness and ease of use make it an indispensable ally in both hospital and home settings.
Thanks to its innovative formula, Gelodiet Neutral Thickening Powder allows patients to enjoy meals with greater peace of mind, without the risk of aspiration or discomfort. Its immediate effect on the consistency of liquids ensures safer swallowing, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration—a common danger among people with neurological disorders or those who have suffered a stroke. This enhanced safety not only contributes to the patient’s well-being but also provides peace of mind for their family and caregivers. By providing a suitable and stable texture, this thickening powder helps maintain hydration and promotes better acceptance of liquids, which are essential for the body’s proper functioning.
One of Gelodiet’s major advantages is how easily it can be incorporated into daily life. Whether used to thicken water, juice, tea, or even soup, its neutral taste ensures that the flavor remains unchanged. Unlike other thickening solutions that can alter the flavor or create a grainy texture, Gelodiet provides a smooth and pleasant consistency without changing the taste of beverages or leaving an unpleasant aftertaste. This ease of use makes it a preferred choice in both hospital and home settings, allowing patients to regain independence in eating and the pleasure of drinking, even when dealing with severe swallowing difficulties.
