Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between moderately thick and mildly thick consistency?

A: Moderately thick (honey consistency) is thicker than mildly thick (nectar) liquids and corresponds to IDDSI Level 3. It flows more slowly than nectar-thick beverages and requires slightly more effort to drink through a straw. Moderately thick is appropriate for individuals with moderate dysphagia who need more resistance during swallowing to prevent aspiration. Your speech-language pathologist will determine which consistency level is safest for your specific swallowing abilities.

Q: Does Thick-It Clear Advantage thickened water taste different from regular water?

A: Thick-It Clear Advantage is designed to taste as close to regular water as possible. While the texture is noticeably thicker, the flavor remains clean and refreshing without the chalky or unpleasant taste sometimes associated with thickening powders. The crystal-clear appearance and neutral taste encourage better compliance and hydration among patients who might otherwise resist drinking thickened liquids.

Q: Can I dilute or mix Thick-It moderately thick water with other beverages?

A: No, you should never dilute or mix Thick-It Clear Advantage with other liquids, as this will alter the carefully calibrated consistency and potentially make it unsafe for individuals with dysphagia. The moderately thick consistency is precisely formulated to meet IDDSI Level 3 standards, and any modification could increase aspiration risk. If you need a different consistency level, consult your healthcare provider about alternative Thick-It products.

Q: How long does Thick-It Clear Advantage stay fresh after opening?

A: Once opened, Thick-It Clear Advantage thickened water should be refrigerated and consumed according to the timeframe specified on the product label, typically within a few days. Unlike powder-thickened liquids that continue to thicken over time, Clear Advantage maintains its moderately thick consistency throughout its shelf life. Always check the expiration date before consuming and discard any bottles that appear compromised or have exceeded their recommended use period.

Q: Is Thick-It Clear Advantage covered by insurance or Medicare?

A: Coverage for thickened beverages like Thick-It Clear Advantage varies by insurance plan and individual circumstances. Some Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid programs, and private insurance policies may cover dysphagia-related nutritional products when deemed medically necessary and prescribed by a physician. Contact your insurance provider directly to verify coverage, or ask your healthcare team about documentation needed for potential reimbursement. Many patients choose to purchase these products out-of-pocket due to the convenience and safety benefits they provide.
