I also cannot tolerate either of the "gums" stomach issues, so does anybody know of any bread/bagel products that I could buy or make??
Have you tried Guar gum? It works the same as Xanthan gum but perhaps it will be easier on your system.
Worth a try (?) Oh, and it is alot cheaper!!
We don't use anything with xanthum gum as it causes horrendous gas in my IBS husband and pretty severe gas in me. So no salad dressings or gf four mixes for us!
Melanie,The xanthan gum helps hold it together seeing there is no gluten!!!!Most recipes use less than a 1/4 tespoon ,but yes as Dawn said below,you do taste it a little and yes thats kind of why gluten free bread has an after taste.Try cutting what…
I also have a bread maker with a gluten free cycle that I love! I agree, buying gluten-free bread itself is too pricey. I usually cheat though and buy a ready made bread mix that already has everything with it, including the yeast and it tastes real…
I don't work with xanthan anymore because it is by product of corn. But when I did I found it easy to work with and I could use it interchangeably with guar gum in baking recipes.
There should be direction on the package as well as most gluten-free…
try gillians.com. the bread is quite tasty and very reasonable. personally, i do not like the taste of xanthan gum. i would rather leave it out if possible.
Hi, i was wondering has any used xanthan gum in bread making?? I dont know how to use the stuff. First time making bread. Its too expensive to buy gluten free bread. Costs nearly $9 at some bakeries. Lashed out and bought a breadmaker.
Thanks

- If you cannot use xanthan gum. try adding 1/2 cup of sticky ice flour to the bread mix. Be careful how much you use or you will have a brick. Use baking powder, and soda to help. The rice flour can normally be found in asian markets.

- Hi Melanie:
Thank you for inviting me in as a friend. If you don't get a response from me quickly, don't fret!! I work afternoons in a clinical lab at a local hospital so I'm not on here a lot. If you have any questions, I'll try to help you out with the information I have collected over the past two years. By the way, I'm the one with the gray hair in the photo!! That's my friend Debby, who was getting ready to take a new position and was leaving.
