Ingredients

Thick-It Regular Strength Food Thickener Powder

Easily modifies liquids and pureed foods for people with swallowing disorders. Thick-It brings the joy of eating back to people with swallowing problems (called "Dysphagia"). When mixed with hot or cold, thick or thin liquids and pureed foods, Thick-It produces any desired consistency quickly, easily and controllably without changing the taste or appearance of the liquids and foods it thickens. Thick-It adds 30 calories per 2 tablespoons for nourishment and it is low in sodium. It helps prevent dehydration because it does not bind fluids. Thick-It is recommended by doctors, speech-language pathologists and dietitians for patients in hospitals, nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities as well as the home.

Directions

Slowly add the recommended amount of Thick-It to the liquid. Stir briskly with a spoon, fork or whisk until the thickener is dissolved or use hand mixer or blender at low speed for no more than 5-10 seconds. DO NOT OVERMIX. After mixing, wait approximately 30 seconds for the liquid to thicken. ADA exchange: 2 tablespoons of Thick-It = 1/2 fruit exchange = 7g carbohydrates (metabolized like fruit sugar). Desired consistency recommended usage per 4 fl oz (you may need to adjust the amount of Thick-It needed to suit your requirements): Liquids: nectar consistency: 1-2 tbsp; honey consistency: 2-3 tbsp; pudding consistency: 3-4 tbsp. Pureed foods: pudding consistency: 1 tbsp. Nutritional supplements: nectar consistency: 2 tbsp; honey consistency: 3 tbsp; pudding consistency: 4 tbsp.
