I have a hard time swallowing too. In fact, I just had a EGD where one of the things the dr found was esophageal motility disorder. I don't know the cause of it (MS vs. the other things he found, I'll find out at the end of the month at my follow up visit). What I am finding that works for me is smoothies and lots of soft foods. My mom gave me a great recipe for a good healthy smoothie and I've been having lots of those. I mix different things in the basic recipe so I get some variety. PM me if you want the basic recipe. I do have to water it down a bit as it can bee too thick and then I have trouble swallowing it. Too thin and it just sits in my throat.

I think the gelatin would be fine, plus it has some protein in it as well, which I don't know of ThickIt has in it. I've been eating a lot of Jello too.
