Living in the rural south, he and my mom have to drive about 3.5 hours (one way) when it is time for that prosthetic voice apparatus to be changed out. 7 total hours of driving and heavy, traffic in a tourist city around a busy research hospital is tough. I did that drive many times for them when he was still undergoing treatments and having surgeries. He has found that the closer he gets to needing the prosthetic changed, the more he coughs when he drinks water or other thin liquids. He describes it as "leaking". Also, there are time when he feels that the prosthetic shifts and presses against the back of the throat causing choking. But since the visits to have the prosthetic reinstalled or adjusted are costly and not a hop, skip and jump away, he endures the discomfort. It feels to him like the prosthetic has shifted and is allowing liquid to leak into his lungs -- and as a result, convulsive coughing ensues. So I ordered this and it helps. He is still about a week and a half away from his next appointment to be refitted and the coughing is still really bad but with the thickener, its bearable. Before, he was so miserable and bitter that he was lashing out and being exceptionally negative. (He may have also been getting dehydrated which can cause mood disturbances.) He was absolutely killing my mom. That constant crossness and lashing out can really do a number on the spouse who has had to assume the role of "caretaker". I mean, my Dad is not disabled, but the ordeal of cancer has changed him and he depends on her more and sometimes seems to resent her "wholeness". Since he got this product (only 5 days ago), he and my mom (who are both retired) have taken two nice day trips to shop and eat in cities about an hour away all in the same week. All before, he had been sitting in the house day after day saying one negative thing after the other, vegging out in front of the tv and feeding off of negative news programs. Now he's out on a "date" with my mom and he is even talking about getting a nice room and spending the night with my mom in Charleston when they drive down for his refitting. And my dad is usually very money conscious (i.e., cheap!) so for him, this is big. No, this product may not alleviate all swallowing problems but for a person who has been suffering from a diminished quality of life due to swallowing issues, this product can be a game changer. For my dad, it gives him some power back - a tool to add to his arsenal of things he can do to help manage his condition. I think feeling helpless is where all that excessive negativity was coming from. Wish I had known about this sooner.

Good question 🤔 **Q: What is the nutritional and caloric values of this product?** A: I don't know of any nutritional value, and I don't believe there are calories..... I am caring for a stroke patient who has trouble swallowing liquids.... Thick It is a great aid for this!!!! **Q: How much liquid will one container of Thick-it 36 Oz thicken?** A: For my Mom we used about 1 heaping tablespoon per 8 ounces of liquid - so if 1 heaping tablespoon equals about 4 teaspoons (about 1 1/4 ounces) then 36 ounces of Thick-it could thicken about 28 times 8 ounces liquid = 224 ounces liquid (or 7 quarts) **Q: does the container have to be refrigerated after opening?** A: There is no need to refrigerate it because it is a powder not a dairy product. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Is helping Dad *by L***A on January 18, 2019* My dad had to have a total laryngectomy about 2 years ago due to laryngeal cancer.
