Thickened juice
For people who have swallowing difficulties, thickened juice can be a reliable source of daily nutrition. These thickened foods for stroke and swallowing problems come in various flavors that make them pleasant to drink. Look for thickened juice made from apple, orange and other fruit flavors from brands such as Resource and Hormel.
Available options
When choosing a thickened juice, your options include formulas with honey or nectar consistencies to help promote ease of swallowing. Also consider the various nutrients that these juices contain, such as zinc, vitamin C and calcium.
