Does it do so more than other thickeners?

I have also tried the Simply Thick gel, but was told by a dietitian
colleague that it binds to liquids, restricting their availability to
the body.
Perhaps RD list members might be able to comment further on this.

Subject: [Dysphagia] alternative thickeners

I am looking for any information on alternatives to thickeners (ie.
cornstarch) to use for patients which may be allergic to standard
thickening
products.  Does anyone know of any good research articles or have any
experience with alternative thickeners?  Any information would help.
Thank you,
