Guest guest Posted May 29, 2001 Report Share Posted May 29, 2001 , My hospital uses something called Thick-It, but I believe it is their own blend as I have seen it in the hospital pharmacy but have never seen it in a drug book. That may be the case here. I would type it as Thicken It, or call your hospital pharmacy to make sure. Margaret >>> " " 05/29/01 12:53PM >>> I have not seen this, nor can I document it.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2001 Report Share Posted May 29, 2001 Hi , There are a few web sites that sell it. Here is one http://www.imaginart.com/2000/2170.htm . " Diafoods® Thick-It Thick-It has a quick mix formula which dissolves instantly. It is an excellent cornstarch-based powder which will thicken liquids, making it easier for the client with dysphagia to swallow without coughing or choking. Use Original Diafoods Thick-It for moderate thickening. Or use Thick-It 2, with double thickening power, for maximum thickening. Both Thick-It and Thick-It 2 come in portion controlled packets (no measuring needed). " Trisha HEENT/Stroke : I have not seen this, nor can I document it.
