Thick-It Original Concentrated Food & Beverage Thickener, 36 oz Canister

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)

works great

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

This is suppose to be concentrated and I guess it is but not by much. Way cheaper than regular Thick-It though. I have to use a thickener so cheaper is better

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

I make my son Gatorade 'gelatin' (thick applesauce/apple butter consistency) because it's just easier for him to swallow more. Adequate hydration is a constant battle and is extremely time-consuming due to his swallow issues. Takes a ton of this (half cup per 2 cups of liquid... probably wouldn't take as much if it was a sugar free or lower sugar product, I've noticed sugar does affect how this product thickens) and we've been using it on and off (but probably all the time in the future) for about 22 years. I am thankful for the Concentrate as the regular ThickIt would bankrupt me, it would take so much.

Several years ago, my now 90 year old mother started to cough when drinking liquids such as water, tea or juice, as well as soups with a thin consistency. Her doctor diagnosed her condition as dysphagia and suggested we use Thick It. It has made a tremendous difference since we started to use it. My mother's Care Givers add the white, flavourless powder to all my mother's drinks and to some of her soup. They have learned how much to add to get the desired thickness of the liquid they give to my mother. I highly recommend this product to address anyone having this condition.

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!
