Xanthan gum - coeliacs beware

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

Xanthan gum - coeliacs beware

Postby RogerS » 20 Jul 2017, 07:15

Interesting article here.

http://www.foodsmatter.com/allergy_into ... 05-12.html

LOML who is very coeliac couldn't work out why recently she'd been feeling pretty rough. All the symptoms of eating gluten. Turns out that the M&S Free From bread she'd been getting stuck into is loaded with xanthan gum. She did the research, found this article and others, cut out the so-called Free From bread and bingo...sorted.

Even if you are not a coeliac, it sounds to be pretty nasty.

The chemicals they put in "Diet" drinks are the worst.

I try to avoid anything that contains the word diet in it.
The only soft drink I use is Fever-Tree Indian Tonic added to Gin

You ought to try Fever Tree Aromatic tonic water with Angostura bark, very nice with London Gin! ;) They sell it in Waitrose.
