Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 This is just to let folks know about my experience with guar gum. After reading some posts on this list and reading the book I decided to try the Specific Carbohydrate diet. I have spent the last month eliminating illegal food from my diet. The first week it was wheat, after that all grains, and other starches etc. After a month of that I felt little difference. However, I was having trouble giving up my coffee with canned coconut milk containing guar gum. Guar gum is not legal on the diet. Last week I bought some fresh coconut cream with absolutely no additives (a whopping $10 per pint) and started using that. The difference was amazing and immediate. Within 24 hours I felt like a new person. I also found I don't crave coffee like I used to. I still need that first cup in the morning but I am no longer interested in my afternoon 2nd cup. Yikes. Even my husband noticed the difference. Guar gum...who knew? Since so many NTers use coconut milk and all the organic ones add guar gum I thought I would alert people that there might be a real problem with it. Just thought I'd share, Irene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
