Thick-It Original Concentrated Food & Beverage Thickener, Flavorless Powder for Dysphagia (IDDSI), Easy-to-Mix & Instant Dissolve, Swallowing Aid, Used in Hot & Cold Food, 36 oz Canister

I don’t know of a single disadvantage of using this! Former chef for 20 years, this is the easiest fastest method to thicken anything no certain temperature no diluting no mixing just sprinkle and whisk!

Definitely does the job - draw back, it's not something you can let sit and sip.

Purchased this product for years to help my Dad. Label used to be Thick it 2 now same label reads Thick it. The last 2 shipments not good. Mixed up smooth and thick and 10 min later it would be water. Not good for someone who swallows slowly and needs 60min to finish 16 ounces. Cannot be returned. Stale product?? Expiry Oct. 2022

Father hasn't choked on his drink since started using this. Use in iced tea and Dr Pepper so far. Play around with amount to use. We use 3 large scoops (tablespoon end of scoop) in 3 cups of iced tea for a slightly thickened/smooth drink. Use 1 large scoop with 3/4 of 20 oz bottle Dr Pepper. Pour Dr Pepper into large glass before adding Thick it, as it will foam up. Father says he can't taste the Thick It.

We use this for my mom, who needs to have her drinks thickened. It has less of a taste than other similar products. Thick-It also offers a "regular" version, but this one -- the "concentrated" version -- is much better because you can use less and thus get less of a taste and less added calories to the drink. It also works in hot liquids, like soups.

Regular Thick It hurts my stomach ( I had gastric bypass- maltodextrin). Thick It 2 is wonderful! Single ingredient. I would recommend anyone that use it, know that it really does take 30-60 minutes to "smooth out"- otherwise it has a applesauce-like texture- which is usable, but is a weird sensation. I always keep extra bottles in the fridge so I don't run-out. I found the best way to mix it is in a 1.5 Liter plastic bottle, put some water in it, add 1/2 your scoops, shake it at least 30 seconds, add more water, the rest of your scoops, shake vigorously 30-60 seconds or you will get lumps. Lumps happen fast so don't stop for something else if you can help it. I tried a Cuisinart blender stick, that seemed to destroy the thickening ability. If you have something wide enough a wire whisk works very well to break any lumps.I use liquid Crystal Light or Mio or Dasani to flavor it- You can use soda- but it will foam up at first-stir some bubbles out first!!) It took me a month to get used to drinking this way. Add to soup, and ice cream ( make earlier and refreeze). I have not had any aspiration using this product. If you have to thicken, this a great product which truly does not have a taste ( you will think it does in the beginning, but it really doesn't)

This has been a tremendous help in allowing me to meet my mom’s nutritional needs. I prefer the Thick It 2 over the regular one as it thickens with only 3 scoops vs the 4-5 it took for the original. I have to spoon feed liquids that are thickened to applesauce consistency to my mom so it does take more than most people would need. Great product that I order regularly!

My daughter uses this due to aspiration. Has no taste. Depending on how thick you are trying to make the liquid is to how much you would use. The price for this product is fair.
