"Does anyone on Lactnet have information about the ingredients used in
'thickeners'?   Would like to know what is being introduced to a babies
digestive system when  used, if anyone has any ideas please.

Whenever a protein is "modified", the resultant product usually contains concerning amounts of 
free glutamic acid (MSG). If you look at AIM, you will see that the levels of free glutamic acid
(which is a neurotoxin) are much higher in the hydrolized products than in the original products.
To imply that thickeners pose little risk because the proteins are removed is extremely
misleading. Corn has become a very dangerous commodity in our food supply, far from
recognizable by our bodies as food. In my experience, a great many children "diagnosed" with 
feeding problems need structural work, long before anyone directs them toward GI and OT 
interventions.
