Hi lovelyld, welcome to the forum!
Thicken Thin products (Not Starch and Not Sugar) aren't available any more as the company, Expert Foods, went out of business a few years ago.
However, there's a similar product called Thick It Up, from Dixie Diners' Club .. you can order it directly from them.
Those low-carb thickener powders are basically a blend of several gums/fibers, including xanthan gum. A lot of folks have had satisfactory results using xanthan alone .. and it's less expensive. You can probably buy xanthan gum at a local health food store, or most large grocery stores with a gluten-free section will have it. One brand to look for is Bob's Red Mill; there are others.
Here's a discussion about using xanthan gum (and guar) you might find helpful http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=422778
hth,
Doreen
