Xanthan Gum Substitute

I read somewhere that unflavored gelatin can be used in place of xanthan gum. Has anyone tried this and what are the ratios of replacement? Thanks!

I'm pretty new to this whole gluten-free baking but everything I've read is that the xanthan gum is essential to it. I do have a few recipes that have the gelatin in it also. Sorry I'm not much more help.

My mom adds unflavored gelatin in addition to the xantham gum, and she makes the most "breadlike" bread I've had yet. She uses betty hagman's recipe and adds gelatin, not sure on quantities, she doesn't really measure. The gelatin helps it be more springy.

Agreed, the best bread recipes I've tried have both xanthan gum and gelatin, but I haven't seen any with just gelatin. You can also substitute guar gum for the xanthan, and I think there are one or two other alternatives. Xanthan gum is shockingly expensive when you first buy it, but if you're going to bake a lot it's worth it.

Thanks, maybe it was the combination that I was thinking of. Oh, must have been another of my brain fog moments. :blink:

Where does one find unflavored gelatin? I can't find it anywhere? Do they have it at WalMart or Kroger?

In all of my grocery stores, it's near the jello. Little box like them labelled Knox Unflavored Gelatin.

      Greetings! I'd like to post a request for interest in an event I'd like to set up.  But before I do, I'm wondering what the rules for posting in the forum are.  Is there somewhere on this site where the rules for posting in the forum or in meetup groups are located? Thanks in advance.

      There is no minimum time since diagnosis of refractory coeliac disease to be eligible for this research. The research is a feasibility study for people with refractory coeliac disease since there is currently no psychologically based intervention tailored for refractory coeliac. The aim of this research is to provide therapeutic support that is not routinely offered at gastroenterology clinics thus encourages people to maintain wellbeing in consideration of having symptoms despite a gluten free diet. Hope you gain further clarity and some relief following your endoscopy!

      Is there a minimum time since diagnosis of refractory celiac disease?  I really hope I’m not eligible for your study, but looking for it is one reason my gastroenterologist suggested an endoscopy. I’m having it later this month, due to still having GI symptoms on a strict gluten free diet.

      There's a company called thistle subscription based food completely gluten free plant based. They offer juices, juice shots. I was wondering has anyone made their own juices shots for anti inflammatory gut healthy juices etc?

      If you prepare gluten free and eat  gluten free but feel stomach pains hours later what makes it gluten contamination vs. something else you may have ate etc? anything to differentiate in symptoms? Thanks
