Clear DysphagiAide Thickener Powder - 180 Servings - Liquid and Drink Thickener for Dysphagia, (Nectar Thick Consistency and Honey Thick Consistency), Pack of 1

Bought this for my 92 yr old mom due to swallowing problems with liquid. Mixes completely as long as you follow the directions (the powder has to go in a dry container before mixed with water) I found out the hard way! Tasteless and has 3 levels that you can make. Will buy again

Works great to thicken tea, water, juices. No clumps and no taste.Make sure you follow directions and put powder in a dry container (i use a mason jar), then add liquid and shake or sir constantly for 30 seconds minimum.

For plain water this is the best, but easier if made ahead of time. No taste, stays clear, and doesn’t settle to bottom of glass like Thickit. I make a quart or half gallon with room temp water (or any clear liquid) and stir or shake multiple times until no clumps ,then put in fridge to cool. That way it’s ready at a moments notice if you get thirsty. Thickness doesn’t change much with cooling I say clear liquids because you can see any clumps and be sure you get them dissolved before cooling. I find liquid SimplyThick best for other uses (like thickening a cup of coffee, milk, or bowl of soup at home or at a restaurant) as it takes only 30 seconds to mix and be served and no clumps but makes plain water look “dirty” (cloudy)and unappetizing.

I didn't know that this was available until my MIL needed it while in the hospital. As an older person I sometimes have trouble with choking when I drink. I can make my water as thick or thin as I like. It's tasteless and odorless and works great. Just make sure you put it in a dry container, add some water and mix it before mixing in the rest of the water. Wait that few minutes for it to work and you're ready to go. I haven't had any issues with choking since using this!

I bought a different kind of thickener at first, but didn't like it very well, then while browsing on Amazon i found this thickened & decided to give it a try. I read where it was tasteless. Ordered it for my mom & now fixing to order again. I'll give my brother the one I bought first & I'll keep the new one. Since I live with mom, we will keep the new one & let my brother take the 1st one. Mom rarely stays with my brother

Overall, it works as described. Pros: 1) It does a good job thickening; 2) Tasteless; 3) Convenient measuring scoop. CONS: 1) Even with brisk stirring, it doesn’t easily dissolve in liquid. We started using an electric, handheld emulsifier to mix thoroughly; 2) It seems to continue to thicken over time. To avoid liquid getting too thick over time, we started adding ice cubes or more liquid after a while. 3) You somewhat have to guess or experiment to find the correct amount for different types & quantities of liquid. Some liquids are naturally thicker than others so extra guidance on the packaging would be helpful.

No dislikes, however, I hope better quantities choices are made available. The pricing seems acceptable. It is easy to use and the measuring device/scoop is well thought out! Will buy again! This is a good buy! Bye!

This product worked great for my stroke patient who had dysphagia. I used it for about 4 weeks until the patient got better and didn't need it anymore. I was able to use it with just plain water, ice tea and even with a protein shakes like Glucerna.A little tip for those who say they still see lumps or bubbles trapped in their drinks. While the directions say to stir briskly, it doesn't mean vigorously. You definitely need to stir but without so much force that you create air bubbles, because those bubbles will get trapped in the beverage as it thickens while you are still stirring. So stir at a constant pace, but not hard. Practice with clear water a few times. I got it right after a few glasses.
