Jack disliked the texture. For several months we thickened his Liquids to prevent another bout of Pneumonia. We added packets of the Xanthan gum mixture to his water, Coffee, juice, and soup. He called it sludge and balked at Drinking it. Finally we called a truce and I agreed to Let him stop. I'm glad we did because his pneumonia Never returned. Today I was finally able to find a home for The remaining boxes of the thickener that Were taking up space in the garage. The man at the donation center was Delighted to receive them, and I was Delighted to get rid of them. But I felt only compassion for the Unfortunate ones who Must drink the mixture and discover it Tastes like sludge. |
