What is used to thicken water and any potential gi or other health problems with drinking thickened water?

Thickened water: I would like to help but I do not know what you mean by " thickened water" In general, based on your clinical findings listed as history of kidney stones?? you should see your nephrologist and certainly drink regular water only
