JAM

I learned on a YouTube video yesterday by Teppa Snow - (an expert in Alzheimer care, etc in my opinion).  that Alzheimer's dominant taste is bitterness - that is why they like more sugar in their coffee, won't drink diet drinks, etc. 

Mom does not like to swallow pills anymore she is very dramatic - worthy of an Oscar.  So we have been crushing her meds and mixing with apple sauce, sometimes pudding or ice cream.  Well, no though mom will swallow, she fights it and says it is BITTER - and gags and sometimes will spit out.

Teppa suggested JAM - it has texture - so the patient can't pick out the medicine (as in pudding) and it is sweeter than applesauce.  So far I have used twice and it works like a charm - who would have thought.

Jam - imagine that!
