Can this product be used to thicken drinks (like water) for dysphagia patients?

This product isn't an instant, so it can be used but you'd have to bring the water to a boil first. However, Cornaby's also has an instant version called Ultra Gel, also available on Amazon, and that will work just fine. It is also non gmo and gluten free, and thickens any liquid at any temperature without having to be heated.

It is possible to use it, but remember it only thickens when it is cooked, it is not instant. It acts like and is interchangeable with regular corn starch. Products that I am familiar with like "thick-it" which are specifically developed for preparing liquids for dysphagia patients, thicken when simply stirred into a liquid. Karen, RN

Thick gel requires heat to thicken up. Cornabys ultra gel is what you are looking for. As long as you gradually whisk it in to your liquid, you won't get any lumps and it thickens instantly. For some reason it wasn't on amazon today, so they may temporarily be out of stock. You could wait or order it off of the Cornabys site. Word of advice, let it sit for a minute to completely thicken. Don't just keep adding until it is thick cause you will end up with pudding!

sure it would help, i do the same, but after time the silicone lid gets a little "slimy" and if i were gone to drink this in an emergency after storing for a long period of time i would treat it first....it takes over a month to get the slimy feeling!

I've only used this product for delicious smoothies.I'am sure it can be used for ice cream and hot tea , better for morning use, as it Has caffeine ..

I don't think this is what you are looking for. This is specifically designed for use with liquid beverages.

We use crushed ice and water...ice makes the drink thicker. Have also added frozen fruit to it as well. Great product not just for weight loss but energy on hectic mornings! Good luck

Yes, You can. I use it to help digestion 2-3 caps with 2-3 caps of Slippery Elm. Open the caps and add to 1/2-1 Cup of hot water. doesn't taste like marshmallow though-bland.

Yes. They make a lot of different ones that can be bought online or at places like Target, bed bath and beyond and such that sell the equipment. Personally I prefer to just add some fresh fruit juice to my glass along with the carbonated water. Healthier and cheaper AND tastier

It is grapefruit juice, dehydrated, so it will act as grapefruit juice does. But the quantity of one packet would be minimal..equivalent to just one tablespoon of actual grapefruit juice or less when reconstituted. If you're using it just to flavor water, I would think you would be okay, but always best to check with your MD.

You could try it. It's used for drinking water so I assume it could also be used for that.

Yes, with distilled or purified water. Remember DMSO grabs stuff and quickly brings it into the body so you don't want to take in any toxins from regular tap water. Dilute at a minimum 50/50. More typical use is at 70%-75% water.

No - this stuff has a "salty" taste, and would not provide the soda feel that you are looking for. I use it in very small amounts as a potassium supplement (in water).

Sure, you can do that. I pour it over ice, myself. It is good for sipping straight for nausea, or mix with water for a pure (not full of chemicals) cola taste

Absolutely. I use mine every day to juice greens. It will be a thicker mixture because it is breaking down whole foods and not extracting the juice. It is much more beneficial and works like a wiz. I add about 1 cup spring water to mine when blending. I love this blender.

Yes i think that might work for a while but maybe not for days. I would just shake it each time. Maybe try with a smaller bottle than a gallon the first time. I know when our coffee sits at room temp with thick-it in it, after a while (hours) it gets like gravy or jello like. The professional/commercial drinks in the hospital that have it in it are always in the fridge and seem to be ok. Hopes this helps. We usually use the thick-it right away at meals

At this moment, no. They just produce this exfoliator and bath salt. They sometimes produce medical candy for sore throat, but not regularly. That's all for their products. However, you can use this for body as well.

Have you ever used the product before and why would you want to mix it with Lemon/baking soda water. If you are just looking to drink tea there would be better teas to use.

yes it can. I do it all the time. This way your drink does not get diluted when the ice melts.
