    I was caring for someone on a thickened liquids restriction and it is… awful. So many great things are made not great by thickening.

      Oh this real? I assumed it was AI. Excuse me while I vomit profusely.

        People who have survived things like a stroke might have trouble swallowing liquids without choking, so you have to thicken them.

        ETA; I think memory care patients go that way towards the end, too, like Alzheimer’s.
