Question 1

Can I use the prethickened orange juice and prethickened apple juice in drinking water?

Accepted Answer

Theoretically yes, but the nature of this product is that it’s a thickened drink for people with aspiration risk... adding it to water would dilute it and increase that risk.

Question 2

Is this drunk cold only?

Accepted Answer

You can drink it warm but it must be refrigerated after opening.

Question 3

1 bottle for $8.07 ??

Accepted Answer

awfully expensive.  We stopped using it and now add "Simply Thick" to regular liquids.  The bottles were handy when Mom was in assisted living, though.  And Simply Thick is outrageously expensive, too.  The cheapest is Thick-it, but Mom didn't like how that made her mouth feel

Question 4

How many sugars and carbs?
