Thickened liquids are often recommended for individuals who have problems swallowing thin liquids. Juice, milk, water, and even coffee can be thickened. Pre-thickened beverages are available commercially, or they can be prepared with various commercial thickeners. This 4-page fact sheet describes various consistencies of thickness, how much water various puréed foods contribute. Written by Wendy J.
