Xanthan Gum and location

[Guest guest]

Xanthan Gum is a plant based thickener used widely commercially

instead of wheat-based thickeners. I have a good friend who suffered

years of food-poisoning like symptoms before he and his wife (an md)

figured out it was Xanthan Gum. Salad dressings, cream cheese and

wheat-free commercial baked goods are usually loaded with it.

Put me down as living in Southern Oregon, an hour and a half further

than Central Point from the nearest health food store. My coolers

only leave my car to unload the food.
