Is this basically just gelatinized cornstarch?

My wife uses it as she has swallowing problems. It's okay when you first mix it, but it does not keep it's consistency and tends to look like water, therefore, cannot be used again - so wasteful.

Can i have english instructions please, your advert has a tin in english which is what i expected.

I used Google Translate on the back of my tin and it said the following (automated translation so I can't say if it's 100% accurate: Foodstuff intended for medical purposes Instant thickener in powder form based on lactose-modified starch, gluten-free. For the nutritional needs of patients with swallowing disorders. Instructions: To thicken a liquid, pour it into a clean bowl, sprinkle the necessary amount of Thick & Easy with a fork or a whisk until completely dissolved, 1 minute to obtain the desired consistency. For thick semi - solid ( puree type ) , add the necessary quantity Thick & Easy ™ directly in the preparation to obtain the texture Very thick quantities recommended according to the desired consistency Thick Syrup for 100 ml 1 measuring spoon 1 measuring spoon and 3 measuring spoons for 200 ml 2 measuring spoons A measuring spoon is supplied with the box.

Can I used this to thicken baby formula?

I’m under a paediatrician for my baby who has reflux. Other thickners did not work and she was prescribed this at 4 months old - works brilliantly.

Perfect

I really rate this more than the alternative more expensive option. Mixed into drinks very well. Only used cold drinks don't know how it blends into hot drinks as lady doesn't have them.

Not sure

Doesn't dissolve properly. Stayed gritty even after leaving overnight. Probably okay if mixed into food

A life changer

This for me is a life changer . I've struggled to eat foods and drinks with a hiatus hernia I've had for a few months. Adding 2 teaspoons of powder to every 8oz water , I can now drink without any problem without feeling like I'm choking . I will be stocking up on this .

Produto ótimo e muito superior a outra marca que eu usava

Este produto é muito bom. Rende mais pois tem ação espessante bem superior ao que eu usava. Dissolve fácil e não fica empelotando. Só o preço que é bem mais caro.
