@simplythickjohn: Oatly thickens differently than most beverages — and here's what to do about it. Plant-based milks like oat milk naturally start with a little more viscosity than water. Not a lot — but enough that if you use the standard six-ounce dose for Slightly Thick, Level 1, you might overshoot. SimplyThickJohn adjusts to eight ounces. Or nine or ten if you want to bring it in closer to the middle of the range. The reason: xanthan gum can react synergistically with other gums in plant-based beverages. Oatly doesn't have other gums listed on the label — but it still starts a little thicker than water. Learning as you go is part of the process. IDDSI flow test confirms Slightly Thick, Level 1. Tastes great. #dysphagia #iddsi #thickenedliquids #swallowingsafety #caregivers
