Nutilis Food Thickener

Dysphagia is a medical condition wherein the person has difficulty in swallowing, or the feeling that food is "sticking" in your throat or chest. Oftentimes, this feeling is actually in your esophagus, the digestive tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. Dysphagia is often experienced when swallowing solid foods, liquids, or both. This condition can affect a person’s eating habits since the fear of swallowing or gagging is often thought of. To aid people suffering from this condition and continue to provide them the necessary nutrients from food, vegetables, meat or fruits are often pureed in order for them to easily consume them.
