Xanthan Prices Set To Rise After Anti-Dumping Ruling Against China

Seems China and Austria have been dumping xanthan onto the U.S. market below fair market value. Apparently, only two U.S. xanthan producers remain.

Interesting. How much do you pay for your xanthan gum? I pay about $15 for a small bag (will check weight). Thankfully it goes a long way!

I paid $14 for a small bag - a very long time ago - was upset at the time but sure does last.

Yes - it is hard to imagine that is a 'dumping' price. Otherwise surely someone is gouging :unsure:

Exactly, Mushroom. Just checked. My most recent bag was $17 for 250g. This only the third bag I've gone through in nearly two years, though, but still. Arrowroot is incredibly expensive here, too. My most recent bag was $14 for 250g. One of the cookbooks I own has many recipes for 1 cup of arrowroot (or more) per loaf of bread. Wow. That is expensive homemade bread!

I had a whole foods store (not Whole Foods) tell me that tapioca was the same thing as arrowroot :wacko: ; I said I don't think so....... It is very expensive here too - one little biddy box costs like $6.00; barely enough to thicken something with, let alone bake. Then a couple of days ago I saw "arrowroot substitute" and it was tapioca. Certainly cheaper but definitely not the same thing.

The price has been going up gradually, but the last bag I purchased was about $4 for 4oz.

One thing I wonder about the dumping accusation, is that since U.S. companies always have trouble competing with Chinese companies, how would one determine that such competition was unfair? Maybe they can sell xanthan for less just like everything else they sell.

:o:(

Tapioca's base source root is being used for biofuel in some countries. <_<

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
