I bought Xanthan Gum because a lot of modern chefs are using it. It doesn't make the product good. When added to milkshakes, it makes it fake, slimy, & cloying even in small doses. IT'S LIKE THERE'S A SNOT IN YOUR MILKSHAKE! I can relate your story. I bought Xanthan Gum because a lot of modern chefs are using it. It doesn’t make the product good.

I've only used it once by itself and wet, and in that case I agree it's a slimy nightmare. But it bakes well in the banana bread and my daughter who has a wheat allergy isn't affected.

Aaaaaallthough... I seem to have slipped through the xgfx cracks here because I have never ever had xanthan gum give me any sass! I even like the word xanthan! HAH. Kittee, I hope this spawns hope for XG in your world. I like to use tapioca starch and I find ground chia and flax mixed with liquid to also work well.

Is there a suitable alternative you might suggest that could replace this? It is the case though that a lot of gluten free baking does incorporate xanthan gum.
