According to IDDSI guidelines, thickened liquids help manage swallowing difficulties, or dysphagia, by slowing the flow of liquids. Knowing exactly **how many scoops of thickener do you need for Level 3** is vital for ensuring the correct, safe consistency for individuals requiring moderately thick fluids.

The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) provides a framework for classifying modified diets to improve swallowing safety. This framework confirms that moderately thick level 3 drinks can be poured from a cup, though the liquid flows very slowly due to its specific viscosity.
