Thanks everyone!
Just in case anyone is also suffering from swallowing difficulties I learned today that I can make a low cal "xanthan gum thickener". It can be added to any thin liquid and is flavorless. (Much healthier than "modified corn starches")
Recipe:
Mix 4 oz of warm water with 2 tsp xanthan gum powder. Shake or mix until dissolved.
If shaking, allow 1-2 inch head space in the container and put lid on. Shake vigorously for 5-10 seconds. (Shaking hot or carbonated becerages is not recommended.)
If mixing, ensure there is at least 2-3 inches of head space and mix vigorously with a fork or wisk (like beating an egg) for 20-30 seconds.
Let mixture sit over night to fully dissolve.
Use thickener the same as you would use "Simply Thick".
For nectar consistency, add 1/2 oz (1 TBSP) of above recipe to 4 oz liquid.
For honey consistency, add 1 oz (2 TBSP) of above recipe 4 oz liquids.
