Review: Thick it with swallow disorder - I have used Thick it for several years now. Husband has upper dysphagia (a swallow disorder) Upper Dysphagia has no cure, but you can help by using this. It will help lessen events of Aspiration Pneumonia. Dysphagia can be caused by things such as stroke, Cancer of the throat and even repeat pneumonia episodes mainly in the elderly. This product can also be used with infants and small children, however, NEVER give a baby or small child any new changes to his diet without a Dr's order. Thick it is tasteless. Remember that it takes an adjustment period to any patient going to a regular liquid to a thicker consistency, so keep practicing in how much you use. A little hint: Start out a bit thicker than needed. The patient will say they aren't drinking that! Then make another small amount with a little less thickness. Make sure a cold drink is really COLD! I add ice to the drink BEFORE the thick it, stir the ice till it's mostly melted, then scoop out the remaining ice cube ( you DON'T want them to choke!) NOW add thick it! What a person with swallowing issues desires is a refreshing cold going down the throat. I really give it a fast hard stir till powder is well dissolved. You may add a touch of lemon to water, a little real (or artificial if diabetic) sugar to make it a little more flavorful. My husband loves ice tea. I use the above method of making it. He has to have very close to pudding thick and uses a spoon to "eat" it. Swallow issues state using NO straws or sports bottles. Be sure the patient can be positioned @ 30 degree angle ( NO LAYING FLAT!!) The patient can aspirate anything if they are laying down. Just practice using patient's face drinks till you get good results in thickness needed. Thicken applesauce, soup broth, ect. I think the 2 most difficult things to thicken are milk and coffee. A person with dysphagia will have a limited diet change. Cold cereal, things like Cole slaw, salad ( basic foods that can choke must be avoided! Have your Dr order speech therapy. Medicare will pay for 100% for IN HOME care. Use that insurance FIRST ! Many visits to the home are allowed before they stop paying! Easier on the patient to learn swallow excercises in comfort of home. Home health is there to also help show you tips, train you and make you confident in what you're doing. By time home health care is done, patient will understand why the excercises, ect are so important & you (Caregiver) will be able to handle this health issue like a pro. Patience & common sense are the key!
Review: Great for elderly who need their drinks thickened. - Excellent product. Use it for my mother. Thickens her drinks nicely. I buy it repeditively. Will not be without it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where do i put the 4 AA Batteries after purchase?**
A: 4 AA batteries?? Good question 🤔

**Q: What is the nutritional and caloric values of this product?**
A: I don't know of any nutritional value, and I don't believe there are calories..... I am caring for a stroke patient who has trouble swallowing liquids.... Thick It is a great aid for this!!!!

**Q: How much liquid will one container of Thick-it 36 Oz thicken?**
A: For my Mom we used about 1 heaping tablespoon per 8 ounces of liquid - so if 1 heaping tablespoon equals about 4 teaspoons (about 1 1/4 ounces) then 36 ounces of Thick-it could thicken about 28 times 8 ounces liquid = 224 ounces liquid (or 7 quarts)

**Q: does the container have to be refrigerated after opening?**
A: There is no need to refrigerate it because it is a powder not a dairy product.
