排除标准

  • 3. Medical or dietary contraindications to any of the ingredients of PTI
  • 4. The high (>85%) fibre content in xanthan gum may cause gastrointestinal difficulties. Therefore, participants that are currently using starch-based thickeners that do not contain fibre will be excluded
  • 5. To avoid potentially adverse effects, participants with inflammatory bowel disease or previous bowel resection will be excluded due to the high (greater than 85%) fibre content of xanthan gum which can cause gastrointestinal irritation
  • 6. Enrolled in any other studies concomitantly or within a month prior to entry into this study
  • 7. The investigator has concerns regarding the ability or willingness of the patient and/or care provider to comply with protocol requirements
  • 8. Currently using a pre-thickened beverage or have used PTI already
  • 9. Using a powdered thickener that is not Advisory Committee on Borderline Substances (ACBS) approved
