Urgent Help Needed - Xanthum And Guar Gum ?


CeliacMom2008

I'm making a cake (for tonight of course!) and the recipe calls for 1.5 cups of gluten-free flour mix. It says to add xanthum gum if flour mix doesn't have it. I'm using Beth's flour (which has guar gum). Do I still add the xanthum gum even thought Beth's has guar gum or does the guar take care of it?

I also have Bob's Red Mill flour mix I could use or I have white rice, brown rice, tapioca, and potato starches/flours if anyone would suggest I go a different route.

Help!!!

If the flour mix you are using has quar gum, you do not need to add additional xanthan. They serve the same purpose.

Hope this helps!

Thank you!

I LOVE this board and everyone here! I was standing in the kitchen in a panic (of course we're having company for dinner and I decide NOW to scrutinize my recipe) and thought...THE BOARD! Surely someone will be on there that knows the answer! I thought they did the same, but I'm very new to this and have only made one other cake not from a mix. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

OK, back to the kitchen!

The cake turned out terrific! I wouldn't even have known it was gluten free had I not baked it myself!

Thanks again for your help!

Congratulations on your cake success. ;) That website or book did you use for your recipe? I always like to try ones that are TNT.

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?
