I have heard that Bob's Red Mill Xanthan Gum was made using wheat. Is it?

I have not heard that and I have been using it for three years and have not had any reactions and I have a severe wheat allergy. Let me know if you find out anything differently. Good luck

No, I far as I understand it, it is made growing bacteria on ground corn. I have been using this product for a while and I nor my family have had a reaction or been "glutened."

I have a WonderMill grain mill and fresh mill Kamut brand wheat as well as a Hard White Spring wheat called "Prairie Gold" Both are marvelous grains for whole wheat flour. I make 100% all the time and works great. PERIOD!! I add 1 Tbs of vital wheat gluten just to make sure, as well as 1/8 tsp of Ascorbic acid (a yeast conditioner). I also use ingredients for Large loafs but set the setting for sandwich and works fine.

This is what I found: No corn. http://blog.bobsredmill.com/gluten-free/guar-gum-vs-xanthan-gum/

I am not sure what GM is? The ingredients are cornstarch, white rice flour, brown rice flour, milk powder, tapioca flour, potato starch, and xantham gum.

this is in addition to my previous response, isomalt is a sugar, and so is Xylitol, a sweetener. I don't see there is anything derived from wheat in this formula.Bongo should address this directly with Biogaia to see if it is made in a gluten-free facility to be sure.

I called the manufacturer's customer service. The ingredient of concern here is maltodextrin which the representative said comes from the starch of corn or rice, but not wheat. Although the product is technically gluten free, many who are gluten sensitive are also sensitive to corn, so be cautious. Also the rep could not confirm if the corn is GMO, which surely means that it is. eek!

Get the texture you want just like the pros do, use xanthan gum. 1/4 teaspoon per quart on your first attempt and adjust from there.I shouldn't have to say this... If someone flips out at you for doing so "OMG xanthan gum is a non-organic GMO poison that major corporations make! You shouldn't be putting it in your body, you'll get cancer!!" just sit them down at the kids table and show them how to make xanthan gum at home (it is easy, google it). I recommend buying your xanthan gum form an online retailer rather than making it, just for simplicity sake.

I was thinking that some gluten free recipes call for baking soda but not enough to cause an aftertaste. Gluten free baking usually uses xantham gum if it's not already in the flour. This is usually the "magic" ingredient that makes it feel like bread and not a brick. Go to the bobsredmill website and check out their gluten free recipes using this particular flour and you might find some you like. The only problem I have with this flour is it's bean based which to me makes it have an aftertase.

I checked my bag of artisan flour and it does not contain xanthan gum, but guar gum instead. Pamela's regular baking mix has xanthan gum added in.

This product is not labelled as 'organic.' or not genetically modified. Heck, I'm happy it's not made by General Mills. Don't you think we should worry more about the working conditions of the migrant workers who are slaving away to keep this stuff on our table? Moreover, it's just wheat germ milled by Bob and his migrant workers. A lot of Bob's products are certified as USDA Organic. The wheat germ is not one of them. But Bob appears to be a good guy, so you should buy it anyhow and hope for the best.

Nope... See their web site: http://www.bobsredmill.com/faqs.htmlThese are old-line grains. Wild type... It's an aquired taste. I cut mine with a decent whole wheat flour .. What you do... I like the stuff and ordered it more than once, as I recall. I have not used it in over a year and a half now but I suspect the formulation is the same

On the side panel of the box, below the Supplemental Facts box, it claims "No wheat, gluten, sodium, sugar, lactose or yeast. Also says no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, and it has the 'Natural, non-GMO soy' mark. It's made in Green Bay WI. Best of all it works for me.

It could be. Xanthan gum is a food additive that is actually a secretion of a bacteria mixed with sugars from corn, wheat or soy (which may or may not be GMO). If you wanted to buy it in bulk, Bobs Red Mill makes an organic/GMO free Xanthan gum by the bag...not exactly sure if they use GMO free in the dental spray though.

No, it is not. Bob's Red Mill has products specifically labelled as gluten free.

The direct answer to your question is I don't know. There are no warnings about it being manufactured in an environment or on equipment used for milk, wheat, nuts etc. There's no 800 number on the label for me to call or to provide you. I don't know chemical the components of wheat or wheat by-products. Here's all ingredients listed on the label: Active ingredient (in each caplet) Sennosides 8.6 mg Inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, dicalcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose Hope the information provided helps.

Yes, according to the Bob's Red Mill site, where there is a recipe (I've never tried to make it).In addition, a Google search shows several recipes, including for bread machines.Hope this helps!
