    Default Could you use some xanthum gum?

    Anyone out there a coeliac and have a use for xanthum gum ( spelling might be a bit off) if so please pm me, I have loads and only use a little now and then I would hate to have to throw it out when use could be made of it.

    Xanthan gum is used as a thickener in sauces, as an agent in ice cream that prevents ice crystals from forming, and as a fat substitute that adds the "mouth feel" of fat without the calories. It is used in canned pet food to add "cling".

    By the sounds of it Shoe Glue is the best thing it could be used for.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
