## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ Good, but not for water
            
*by Z***E on November 30, 2016*

Bought this specifficaly for my father, who suffered a stroke and could no longer drink plain water. It was reccomened by our physical theripist to purchase Thicken Up--I think she was confused with Thickn'Easy--because when i brought this product back, she told me that it's not for use in water...it's more so for soups, smoothies, and food-based products.  It does work, we where able to thicken up a few broth-based soups. With that said, we did try it in water--it created a very chalky flavor and a weird tetxture. We will stil continue to use the product, but i think after this we'll just buy Thickn'Easy or ThickIt products.Minus One (1) star - For arriving without a cap.Minus One (1) star - Not for water*I rely on amazon for reviews of nearly everything before I buy. I like to give back to the community by reviewing items myself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Barely noticeable and makes the hugest difference!
            
*by H***L on July 24, 2017*

Water is surprisingly one of the most difficult things to swallow when you have even mild dysphasia (swallowing problem), and Thicken Up is just great. I don't like the products that thicken so much that it's like drinking jello. Now that I've figured out my ideal proportions, I add the product to a dry wider-mouthed bottle, add about 2-3 inches of water, cover and shake to dissolve it, then fill my bottle and shake again. It stops thickening a minute or two later, and I can sip my water all day without having to think about it! It's just as good refrigerated as at room temperature, and apparently can also be used in hot beverages, which I don't drink (so don't know).
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it! Minimal texture and no taste!
            
*by A***9 on July 20, 2018*

I had surgery over 3 months ago and had to retrain my throat how to swallow while protecting my airway. Thin liquids are the hardest for me to get down without coughing. I tried another thickener but it didn't dissolve in water so it was gritty and it also had a weird taste to it when added to water. I tried this based on someone's recommendation. I love it! It dissolves so it doesn't feel gritty when you drink it. I also don't notice a taste to it when I just add it to water. I think I use a bit less than the directions say for nectar thick but it still works. So happy to have this so I can safely quench my thirst with water during this hot summer!
