Acid/base chemistry will get ya every time!

As for the xanthum gum, where does the corn come in? I know the substance itself comes from the cell wall of a bacteria. Is the bacteria grown on corn?

I'm not exactly sure, but from some of what I read yesterday at the Avoiding Corn group at delphi, corn, or a corn derivative, is somehow used in the manufacturing process of the xanthum gum.

That's a quote from OMG...I might be able to. Rachel--24 thread. I don't have an allergy to corn (at least not yet) so I don't have problems with the xanthum gum that I know of.

I've wondered about that too. I'm very allergic to corn. I was concerned when I heard the corn connection with xanthan gum, but have used it in a few recipes. I'm still new enough at this that I can't exactly tell if it bothers me or not. I don't get diarrhea or anything with my celiac. I get big time anxiety. It does kind of makes my mouth feel funny when I eat food made with xanthan, but not sure if that's my imagination. I can tell it's there, though. I decided to not use it anymore a week ago. Too early to know if it will make a difference. Does anyone think guar gum is a good substitute for xanthan gum?

From what I have read on the Avoiding Corn board it is a mixed bag, some react to it and some don't. Some people, for example, can eat the Namaste mixes (xanthan gum is a listed ingredient, but the company clearly states it is from a non-corn source) and not react while others do react. I guess it depends on the individual.

      Enegy level extremely low

      Hello Scott, I did lose weight at the beginning of diagnosis and I know that it will take time to put on the weight I did lose. I think I have no appetite because this has been a roller coaster of emotions and a Big change on my body and its out of whack mentally and pysically. I think I am just depressed to be honest.

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      It's easy to forget that it's not only the concentration of gluten in a given food item that's significant but also the total amount of gluten we consume over a period of time. This thing and that thing may meet the gluten-free requirement of not exceeding 20 ppm but if we eat enough of those things in a reasonably short amount of time it can have a cumulative...

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      Hi! I try to steer clear of dairy and I cut out oats at the same time I did gluten products. It may be that something I had recently that was labeled as gluten-free contained oats. I am just so confused as to why I didn’t react when I know I ate wheat flour (breaded fries) but then reacted to something else 9 days later. Maybe you’re right and that it was...

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      Welcome to the forum, @SamClaire! I am reasonably sure that after 9 days any danger of a single gluten exposure reaction would have been long gone. If in fact the reaction you are speaking of is due to gluten, it is more likely a cumulative effect of small amounts of gluten having crept into your diet over time. Perhaps some food product you have been...

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      Hi, I’m brand new to this website but I was diagnosed 14 years ago. I am just now getting over a particularly bad flare up that lasted a full 7 days. I’ve been trying to figure out what caused it and all I can think of is I know I accidentally ate gluten (specifically wheat flour) 9 days before my symptoms started. Could it have taken 9 days for my ...

This thing and that thing may meet the gluten-free requirement of not exceeding 20 ppm but if we eat enough of those things in a reasonably short amount of time it can have a cumulative effect because our bodies aren't given enough time to clear the gluten we have already consumed. Just curious. Did you know the fries were wheat breaded when you ate them?

      Welcome to the forum, @SamClaire! I am reasonably sure that after 9 days any danger of a single gluten exposure reaction would have been long gone. If in fact the reaction you are speaking of is due to gluten, it is more likely a cumulative effect of small amounts of gluten having crept into your diet over time. Perhaps some food product you have been using that was once gluten free is no more. Companies can and do change their formulations over time so it may be wise to take inventory of what is in your cupboard and what your are purchasing and check closely the ingredient labels and the allergen statements. It is also possible that the reaction you mention is caused by something else that resembles a gluten reaction. Are you still consuming oats and dairy?
