Xanthan Gum

My favorite flour blend was arrowhead mills gluten free all purpose flour blend untill they just recently reformulated it. They substituted xanthan gum in place of guar gum and I think I may be reacting to it. Is that even possible? Well, I was looking up different recipes to try and make my own and everything calls for xanthan gum. Are the two gums interchangeable? I would love a good recipe for this without xanthan gum...I usually make pancakes with it. Thanks!

According to one of the gluten-free cookbooks I have, it says that guar gum can be used instead of xanthan gum (but I don't think the other way round). It says however that if a recipe calls for 1 tsp xanthan, then use 1 1/2 tsp guar gum.

I've also seen recipes using ground flax or ground chia, instead of xanthan, but I'm not sure about the amounts. You may have to experiment.

Xanthan gum is grown on corn. Before I realized I was corn intolerant, I bought some. I never got to use it. I can't get guar gum in my town, so I bought some ground flaxseed. They SAY you can use it in place of the xantan gum, but I don't know how to cook, and frankly, I've been afraid to try baking anything yet. Here is a list of things you could use instead:

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
