According to the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI), a Level 2 fluid diet is classified as "mildly thick," designed for individuals with swallowing difficulties. This special diet provides a safer way to consume liquids by slowing their flow, giving the person more time and control during the swallowing process. It is typically prescribed by a speech-language pathologist or other healthcare provider following an assessment.
