So. Xanthan is a great little helper when baking gluten free.

The fun stops if you do the math. As my wife bakes a lot, we figured out that Xanthan sets her back around 60.00/kg.

Any info as to where you buy it and for how much?

Thanks

The extremely small amounts we use makes it last a long time. I would never buy bulk (because it's often not very sanitary, plus extreme possibility of cross contamination) but most stores will purchase you a case in their order, which often saves money.

I got a HUGE container at my local health food store. It's EnerG brand and says its 227 g. considering most recipes only call for a small amount, I figure it should last a good long time.

My wife now bakes gluten free commercially, so we realy needed a HUGE container......we had to order 25KG of that gum to get a comercially viable price.

      Welcome to the forum, @Bernade! There are a couple of possibilities here what is causing your up and down experience since being diagnosed with celiac disease and beginning the gluten free journey. One is that you are not yet consistent in avoiding gluten. It is easy to avoid major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta but to arrive at a completely gluten free state on a consistent basis is much harder and involves a real learning curve. Gluten is found in some many food products that you would never expect to find it in. Just a couple of examples: soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually). Gluten can be in medications, pills and supplements as a filler. And if you are still eating out at restaurants you are very likely getting "glutened" by cross contamination even when you have ordered foods that are naturally gluten free. Another is that you have other food intolerances in addition to gluten. This is very common in the celiac community and the most common culprits are dairy, oats, soy, eggs and corn. Some foods have proteins that resemble gluten closely enough so as to cause a celiac reaction for some celiacs.

      Dealing with Celiac for 6 months now at first I felt fine and thought it’s a bunch of nonsense it’s not going to make much difference if I have gluten or not I could deal with it how bad could it be??? I try now very very hard to not even smell gluten it is such a very very misunderstood issue.But honestly there are days I feel great then others feeling horrible like body aches headaches and nausea and I just don’t know why I do not eat it I read everything is it airborne can there be other things we just don’t know about yet is there a medication we need to take or should??? Anyone have the same issues???
