Q:
My mom has been using Thick-it for nearly 2 years. Are there any side affect when using Thick-It long term. My concern is that she is not getting enough liquid into her system. She drinks no less than 8-10 8 fl oz. of some type of beverage a day, usually decaf tea or Gatorade, she doesn't like plain thick water. (She recently fell due to dehydration).

A:
My mom has been using Thick-it for about the same amount of time. By thickening the fluid there is no long term side affects from this, it is made up of mainly starch. By using Thick-it does not mean she is not getting the fluid she needs on a daily basis. If your mom is drinking 8-10 8 oz of beverages with the Thick-it on a daily basis she should not have been dehydrated.
