xanthan gum can be found in health food stores
requires a blender or hi speed on mixer to activate
needs about 1/4 tsp per cup of liquid to thicken
but play with the ratio to get required thickness
good stuff xanthan gum

Best place is health food stores, online I have found some but not good quality.

the xanthan gum i use says on the label that it's made out of something that's extracted from cabbage

it does have nutritional info it's something like 3g of carbs per tea spoon

Damn..no one around here uses it......or supplies it....any websites?

I thought Xantham gum is only fiber. if it's also other carbs, no good for me, because i'm on the PB diet and I want to avoid carbs as much as possible.

Will u do me a favor and post your PB diet? I read the sticky and know of the diet...just want to see how you;ve applied it....
