Xanthan Sensitivity! could it be complicating your recovery.
« on: December 10, 2008, 04:11:25 PM »
Hi All,
Found this today, and as I bake all my own bread and cakes I homed in on it immediately.
.
EXTRACT:
.
what's the problem with Xanthan?
.
Some people develop an allergy to xanthan, with gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea. 
Even consumption of a very minor amount can lead to days and days of recovery and many trips to the bathroom.
.
Hmm.

Sound like anything we've heard before? 
And that's the problem. 
.
Experiencing a xanthan reaction can make you question your gluten-free diet,
make you think you were accidentally exposed to gluten, or mystify you completely.
