uncooked cornstarch/pudding type recipes?

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have any " tasty " recipes for including uncooked cornstarch into

something palatable for a child who eats orally? This would be for a bedtime

" snack " to keep the blood sugar up during the night.

Thanks!

We used tapioca and had a little better luck with it, with one of my

girls, when corn starch didn't seem to be enough. You do the same thing

with it, and make sure that it is not cooked. We mixed it in lyte

yogurt, and sugar free pudding.

He wasn't sure, but I received an email from the USDA researcher I wrote

after reading about his research in this area, and he referred me to a

company here in Washington who supposedly has commercial products/information

regarding rice starch/hypoglycemia. I'm going to call the company on Monday

and I'll write an email to the group about what I find out.
